Deep cutaneous fungal infection in an immunocompetent individual caused by a biological pesticide: a rare case report
This is the first known case of a deep fungal infection linked to work with biopesticides. Our findings highlight the potential risks of using these products and emphasize the need for proper safety precautions and ongoing monitoring of fungal infections in various groups of people.
