A Good Diagnosis Saves Lives: The Importance of Teledermatology: Case Report

Journal Title: Journal of Dermatology Research - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 3

Abstract

Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is one of the most prevalent subcutaneous mycoses, caused by melanized or pigmented fungi. Considered a tropical or subtropical disease, commonly seen in rural areas after traumatic inoculation, mostly associated with agriculture. The lesions tend to present on the limbs and follow a chronic and progressive pattern, which if left untreated or misdiagnosed can lead to loss of functionality and lower quality of life. Teledermatology (TD) has been used mainly to diagnose, monitor and treat patients at distance in neglected areas. Guatemala has a vast rural area and despite the efforts from both private and public sectors, we still cannot reach all the patients and not all the patients can reach us. We present a case report on how with the aid of teledermatology a life was changed for the good.
