Poonam Sharma, Parminder Kaur Gill, Aruna Aggarwal This is a case report of Bipolaris spicifera, a dematiaceous fungus commonly found in soil and as a plant pathogen, isolated from culture of the lesions and from an excisional biopsy specimen in a patient with diabetes and alcohol abuse. This case highlights the importance of considering Bipolaris as a differential diagnosis in patients with cutaneous lesions and the need for vigorous management for complete cure.

Burada, koyu renkli, toprak ve bitkilerde hastalık yapan bir mantar olan, diyabetli ve alkol bağımlısı bir hastanın yara kültürlerinden ve eksizyonel biyopsi örneklerinden izole edilen Bipolaris spicifera’nın etken olduğu bir olgu sunuldu. Bu olgu, cilt lezyonu olan hastalarda Bipolaris türlerinin de ayırıcı tanıda olması ve tam kür sağlanması için sıkı bir olgu yönetiminin gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır
