• Description:
  In this part 1 of a 2-part continuing medical education series, the epidemiology, clinical features, and diagnostic methods for fungal skin neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), which include eumycetoma, chromoblastomycosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, sporotrichosis, emergomycosis, talaromycosis, and lobomycosis, are reviewed. These infections, several of which are officially designated as NTDs by the World Health Organization, cause substantial morbidity and stigma worldwide and are receiving increased attention due to the potential for climate change-related geographic expansion. Domestic incidence may be increasing in the setting of global travel and immunosuppression. United States dermatologists may play a central role in early detection and initiation of appropriate treatment, leading to decreased morbidity and mortality.
