Abstract

Mycoses caused by dematiaceous fungi originate from contact of the fungus through the skin in a traumatic way. Dematiaceous fungi belong to a varied group of microorganisms characterized by the presence of melanin in their wall, which gives rise to macroscopically observing dark colonies on the reverse and obverse and microscopically observing fumaroid cells or Medlar cells. The objective of this
research is to analyze the updated scientific information on dematiaceous fungi that cause mycoses in humans. To acquire bibliography, a search was carried out in SciELO, PubMed, Google Scholar and repositories of doctoral theses, for articles in English and Spanish, published in the last 5 years (2019- 2024). Priority was given to high-impact journal articles, review and research articles. Search terms
included “mycoses,” “dematiaceous fungi,” “fungemias,” “oportunistic infections”, “infectious diseases”.
