Abstract:
Aureobasidium pullulans is classified among dematiaceous fungi, characterized by the production of melanin pigments. It is widely distributed throughout the environment. It has occasionally been infected on the skin and nails of humans. We report a case of onychomycosis due to Aureobasidium pullulans developed in an 49-year-old female after trauma.
