Keywords:
Chromomycosis, endemic, goat farmers, semi-arid rural areasAbstract
Chromomycosis, a non-contagious chronic disabling deep mycosis, is acquired through inoculation of the fungus present in the vegetation. This disease has a worldwide distribution. Cases are recorded throughout the national territory, being endemic in the states of Lara, Zulia and Falcón. The objective of this study was to contribute to its control through the location, diagnosis and treatment of those affected, to avoid the evolution towards disability and the consequent deterioration of their quality of life.
