A case of fungiform mycosis with involvement of the liver, kidneys, and the skin in a female patient aged 56 is described. Duration of the illness--2 months. Lesions of the skin localized on the face and upper extremities. The anamnesis revealed chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma of a 15-year duration. The corticosteroid therapy resulted in destruction of tumour-like nodes on the skin, but the patient died because of a concomitant bilateral fibrous-purulent pneumonia. The diagnosis was established on clinical data (on bioptic specimens of the skin) and corroborated by sectional material.
