A 64-years old woman from the environs of the town Barinas / Venezuela refers a superficial ulceration of the mucosa of the left nostril existing several months. The patient seems to be healthy. The x-ray picture of the lungs shows a dissemination of small calcified and several bronchopneumonic foci. After the biopsy diagnosis of the nasal mucosa a specific treatment with Amphotericin B was started. About the further evolution of this infection nothing is known.
