We report on a case of phaeohyphomycosis caused bg Alternaria infectoria in
a renal transplant recipient with pulmonary infiltrates and multiple skin
lesions. Diagnosis was based on microscopy and culture of the skin lesions.
Treatment consisted of a combination of surgical excision and systemic ant
ifungal therapy first with itraconazole and subsequently with liposomal amp
hotericin B, for 39 days. At a 20-month follow-up visit, no recurrence of t
he skin lesions or the pulmonary infiltrates had occurred.
