We describe a case of hyalohyphomycosis in a diabetic man under systemic steroid treatment for a bullous pemphigoid. Treatment with different antimycotic drugs were ineffective and infection spread diffusely, leading to deterioration of general conditions and ultimately death. The aim of this article is to increase awareness of clinicians about this uncommon, but frequently fatal refractory mycotic infection.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Acta Biomedica Atenei Parmensis}, author={Corbeddu, Marialuisa and Ferreli, Caterina and Cappai, Riccardo and Ferraguti, Patrizia and Atzori, Laura and Pilloni, Luca and Rongioletti, Franco}, year={2021}, month={Jul.}, pages={e2021139} }
