Fonsecaea compacta is a saprophytic fungal species found in the family Herpotrichiellaceae.[1] It is a rare etiological agent of chromoblastomycosis, with low rates of correspondence observed from reports.[2] The main active components of F. compacta are glycolipids, yet very little is known about its composition.[3] F. compacta is widely regarded as a dysplastic variety of Fonsecaea pedrosoi, its morphological precursor.[4][5] The genus Fonsecaea presently contains two species, F. pedrosoi and F. compacta.[1] Over 100 strains of F. pedrosoi have been isolated but only two of F. compacta.[6]
