Spontaneously Healed Primary Cutaneous Alternariosis: Reports of 2 Cases

Abstract



The treatment of cutaneous alternariosis consists of surgical excision and systemic antifungal agent. However, only reduction or cessation of corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy, if it is possible, can be sufficient to treat the lesion in some cases. We present two cases of spontaneously healed primary cutaneous alternariosis. Case 1 was a 73-year-old female patient with diabetes mellitus, heart failure, chronic renal failure and chronic hepatitis. Case 2 was a 64-year-old male patient with iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome and diabetes mellitus. The correction of the underlying diseases resulted in improvement of the primary cutaneous alternariosis.
