ABSTRACT
We report an immunocompetent male child with chronic, indolent subcutaneous limb infection akin to basidiobolomycosis, but was shown by PCR method to be caused by a mucoralean fungus Saksenaea vasiformis. Treatment with oral potassium iodide solution was effective. This finding highlights the consideration of treatment decision according to the phenotypic severity as opposed to species identified.
