Chromoblastomycosis and phaeohyphomycotic abscess-associated hospitalizations, United States, 2016–2021
Substantial in-hospital mortality and complications like lymphedema can occur from chromoblastomycosis and phaeohyphomycotic abscesses. Our analysis provides a baseline to monitor hospitalizations and mortality along with comorbidities that may change these outcomes. Public health and clinical partnerships could improve understanding of these fungal diseases caused by dematiaceous fungi through registries, enhanced surveillance, and increased awareness.
