Chromoblastomycosis.

A 70-year-old male agriculturist from a rural area presented with a history of a painless verrucous lesion over the medial aspect of the left leg for 1 year following abrasion by a branch of a coconut tree. KOH preparation of the skin biopsy showed evidence of fungal elements. Cladophilalospora sp. was isolated in culture. The case was diagnosed as chromoblastomycosis. As there was no response to itraconazole, complete surgical resection of the lesion was done. At follow-up after 1 year there was clinical as well as mycological cure.

Prevalence of nonfermenters in clinical specimens.

One hundred and thirty three non fermenting gram negative bacilli isolated out of 625 different clinical specimens were identified and characterised. Samples were exudate from chronic suppractive otits media (341), diabetic foot (117) wound (116) and blood (51). Of these isolates Pseudomonas aeruginosa 105(78.94%) predominated followed by Acinetobacter sp 8 [6.1%], Pseudomonas putrifaciens 6(4.5%), Flavobacterium sp 6(4.5%), Xanthomonas maltophilia 5(3.75%), Alkaligenes sp 3 (2.25). 31 (23.30%) were resistant to commonly used antibiotics. Amikacin 85 (63.90%) was found to be more effective than fluoroquinolones (27.8-48.12%).
