Abstract
Phaeohyphomycoses are a heterogeneous group of rare mycotic infections caused by dematiaceous fungi. They are classified into four forms: su perficial, and corneal, cutaneous subcutaneous, systemic. Alternaria s pecies are ubiquitous fungi that are occasionally aetiological agents of pheohyphomycosis. A case of onychomycosis caused by Alternaria alte rnata treated with itraconazole is reported.
