Abstract
The coelomycete Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was isolated in pure cu lture from subcutaneous nodules of the left forearm and elbow of a far mer after traumatic injury. To our knowledge, we report the first case involving this fungus as an etiological agent of subcutaneous infecti on. The in vitro inhibitory activities of amphotericin B, itraconazole , ketoconazole, miconazole, flucytosine, and fluconazole were studied.
