Resumen
GONZALEZ LORENZO, Ariadna Margarita; CARBALLIDO LIAS, Caridad y BELLO CAMARAZA, Olga Lidia. Tinea nigra: a report in Matanzas, Cuba . Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2016, vol.38, n.2, pp. 286-292. ISSN 1684-1824.
Tinea nigra is a superficial cutaneous mycosis, caused by the yeasty-form fungus called Hortaea werneckii. It is frequent in warm regions and in beach zones. Its isolation in the hand palm of a boy without antecedents of infectious contact or hyperhidrosis is reported in this article. He was treated with an ointment of benzoic acid, salicylic acid and sulfur; lesions disappeared after a month without recurrence. The presentation of the case was considered significant due to the scarce frequency of this diagnose.
