Abstract
Moulds belonging to the genus Paecilomyces are rare opportunistic pathogens , About 100 cases have been reported in immunocompromised hosts or in relat ion to surgical procedures. We describe here a cutaneous infection due to P . lilacinus in a renal transplant patient, which responded to voriconazole treatment.
