Abstract

A 19-year-old male from Odisha state was diagnosed with facial chromoblastomycosis caused by Fonsecaea nubica, initially misidentified as F. pedrosoi. Sequencing of Internal transcribed spacer region of rDNA confirmed F. nubica, marking its first detection in India. This highlights the need for further research and monitoring of epidemiology of chromoblastomycosis.
