Abstract

We report two cases of infection by fungi unprecedented in Rwanda. One patient with emergomycosis presented with disseminated disease and prominent cutaneous involvement and one patient with African blastomycosis had cutaneous and osseous disease. These cases illustrate the clinicopathologic and molecular traits of novel dimorphic onygenalean species in Rwanda.
