Abstract
A Curvularia species was isolated from a chronic ulcer on the lower li mb of a 21-year-old man. The histopathological findings supported the mycological diagnosis. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) wa s performed using a crude soluble fungal antigen. The patient's serum contained significantly more antibodies than 10 sera from control subj ects (P<0.05, t-test).
