Abstract
A case of cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis of the foot affecting interdigital spaces between toes in a 31 year old immunocompetent male with no history of diabetes is illustrated. Fugal elements were found in direct microscopic examination of skin scrapping. The etiologic agent was identified as Curvularia lunata based on macromophology and microscopic examination of pure culture growth.
