Verticillium species is a filamentous fungus that inhabits decaying vegetation and soil. It is known to cause disease in plants. Four cases of human infections have been reported previously in nontransplant patients. Here, we report the first case of Verticillium species skin infection in a transplant patient who was successfully treated with fluconazole monotherapy.
