Question

A chronic localized subcutaneous infection characterized by verrucoid lesions on the skin is
A)candidiasis.
B)leprosy.
C)shingles.
D)chromoblastomycosis.

Accepted Answer

Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic fungal infection that typically affects the skin and subcutaneous tissue, resulting in wart-like growths or verrucoid lesions. It is caused by several types of fungi, including Fonsecaea pedrosoi and Cladophialophora carrionii. The other options, candidiasis, leprosy, and shingles, do not typically present with verrucoid lesions on the skin as the primary symptom.
