"Lobomycosis is a chronic subcutaneous mycosis for which no standard treatment is available to date."( Bravo, F; Bustamante, B; Salomon, M; Seas, C, 2013)
"The murine model of Jorge Lobo's disease is characterized by histological alterations similar to those seen in human disease, including a large number of viable fungi."( Barbosa, AS; Barboza Pedrini, SC; Diório, SM; Lauris, JR; Nunes, AJ; Sartori, BG; Saruhashi, MR; Silva, SM; Vilani-Moreno, FR, 2015)
"Lobomycosis or lacaziosis is a chronic granulomatous fungal infection caused by Lacazia loboi."( Aguilar, CR; Araújo, MG; Cirilo, NS; Guedes, ACM; Santos, SNMBD, 2018)
"Lobomycosis is a rare fungal skin infection, endemic to the Amazon basin."( Blaizot, R; Blanchet, D; Chanlin, R; Couppie, P; Demar, M; Garcia, M, 2019)

Treatment

ExcerptReference
"We describe a patient in Peru with lobomycosis on the left earlobe that was successfully treated with posaconazole for 27 months."( Bravo, F; Bustamante, B; Salomon, M; Seas, C, 2013)
