RESUMO
FUNDAMENTOS A cromoblastomicose é uma micose subcutânea que acomete principalmente homens trabalhadores rurais, sendo cada vez mais observada em outras atividades profissionais. O fungo penetra na pele após inoculação, e o agente mais frequentemente isolado é a Fonsecaea pedrosoi.

OBJETIVOS:

MÉTODOS:

É um estudo retrospectivo, utilizando a revisão de prontuários, e inclui 27 pacientes. Analisaram-se os tratamentos prévios e os atuais instituídos, o tempo entre o aparecimento das lesões e o diagnóstico, a idade, o gênero, a profissão, a procedência, a localização das lesões e os agentes isolados em cultivo.

RESULTADOS:

Vinte e dois pacientes eram procedentes do estado de São Paulo. Os demais eram procedentes da Bahia e Rondônia. A maioria dos pacientes estudados eram trabalhadores rurais (37 por cento). Os homens foram os mais acometidos (85 por cento). A maior parte dos pacientes apresentava lesões nos membros inferiores (59,2 por cento). Em 52 por cento dos casos foi isolado o fungo F. pedrosoi. O exame anatomopatológico mostrou corpos escleróticos em 92,5 por cento dos casos.
