Abstract
A 62-year-old male with a history of Wegener's granulomatosis and immunosuppressive therapy presented with chronic olecranon bursitis. A black velvety mould with brown septate hyphae and tapered annellides was isolated from a left elbow bursa aspirate and was identified as an
Exophiala
species. Internal transcribed sequence rRNA sequencing showed the isolate to be identical to
Exophiala oligosperma
. The patient was successfully treated with aspiration and intrabursal amphotericin B.
