 AB    Phialophora verrucosa is one of several pathogenic dematiaceous fungi
       associated with chromomycosis and occasionally phaeohyphomycosis.
       Infection appears to be increasing in frequency in both
       immunocompromised and presumably healthy patients. Medical therapy is
       often difficult, and a wide variety of antifungal agents have been tried
       with varying degrees of success. We report a patient with acquired
       immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and extensive cutaneous fungal
       infection due to Phialophora verrucosa. The disease failed to respond to
       ketoconazole, but regression of the lesions was obtained with
       itraconazole.
