Disasters pile up on the rubbing heel: Sporothrix globosa as secondary infection to Mycobacterium chelonae infection.

Mycobacterium chelonae and Sporothrix globosa , both of which are opportunistic pathogens, have been proved to be possible multidrug resistant. However, are all recurring symptoms in chronic infections related to decreasing susceptibility? Here we report a case of sporotrichosis secondary to M. chelonae infection. In addition, we find that the blackish-red spots under the dermoscopic view can be employed as a signal for the early identification and regression of subcutaneous fungal infection.
