We describe a 69-year-old female farmer with diabetes mellitus who developed subcutaneous infection due to a plant pathogen, Corynespora cassiicola. The organism was identified based on characteristic morphotypes and confirmed by sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. The patient was treated successfully with amphotericin B therapy.
