Abstract

Introduction: Eosinophilic skin diseases encompass a broad spectrum, including Wells syndrome, which is characterized by histological findings of Eosinophilic infiltration in the dermis. The etiology and pathogenesis of Wells syndrome are still unknown, but it has been reported that insect bites, infections, and medications can act as triggers. Fungal infections are common in clinical practice,however, when they are recurrent, have atypical characteristics, or are resistant to treatments, they must be recognized as potential triggers for hypersensitivity reactions such as Wells syndrome. Case Presentation: We present the clinical and histopathological characteristics of a case in which Wells syndrome was associated with a fungal infection. Conclusions: Wells syndrome is a rare skin disorder with polymorphic manifestations, making diagnosis challenging in clinical practice. Therefore, a high index of suspicion is required, and blood tests and skin biopsy are necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
