Lobomycosis

Description

A disease of the skin, caused by an infection with the fungi Lacazia loboi. This disease commonly presents with dermal nodules (either lenticular or in plaques), keloids, subcutaneous mycoses, or malignant tumours. Transmission is commonly by direct contact with contaminated water, soil, vegetation, or may be by direct contact with an infected dolphin. Confirmation is by identification of Lacazia loboi in a lesion exudate or tissue sample.
