Chromoblastomycosis in a patient with a cardiac transplant.

Cases of chromoblastomycosis have been reported in immunocompromised patients. However, chromoblastomycosis is rarely caused by Exophiala jeanselmei. While this organism has been reported to induce pheohyphomycosis in a recipient of a cardiac transplant, chromoblastomycosis has not been described. We present a case of chromoblastomycosis caused by Exophiala jeanselmei in a patient who had received a cardiac transplant.
