Objectives of the present study were to evaluate the perspective of youth about chromoblastomycosis. A total of 100 subjects
were asked to answer the questionnaire. The subjects were students in Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan. Alexander
pedroso in Saopolo, Brazil studied the cases of Chromoblastomycosis in 1911. The name of disease was blastomycosa negra. The
name of a disease figueria described by German Physician. It was done from the current study that most of the females said that
chromoblastomycosis was not a viral, fungal, bacterial disease. There is a 50% chance whether it may or may not be a viral, fungal
or bacterial.
Fungal infection of the skin is the Chromoblastomycosis, which
is a long-term. Often in rural areas, in tropical or subtropical climates
this infection occurs such as Madagascar in Africa and Brazil in
South America . By many different types of fungi, this infection can
be caused. Very slowly, chromoblastomycosis spreads. It is not often
lethal and usually has a good projection, but it’s cure is very difficult.
Medication and surgery, the several treatments include. Among the
subcutaneous mycoses and is ubiquitous, Chromoblastomycosis is
classified. Chromoblastomycosis disease was recommended by the
International Society for Human and Animal Mycology in 1992.On
the foot or leg chromoblastomycosis begins [1]. Where the skin is
wrecked, other exposed body parts may be infected. Papules are
formed in this disease. Dull red patches are formed when these
papules extend. Objectives of the present study were to evaluate
the perspective of youth about chromoblastomycosis (Tables 1-4).

Chromoblastomycosis.
Presence and absence of chromoblastomycosis in male and
female is shown in the (Figures 1-4). In the first column graph it was
showed that most of the females said that Chromoblastomycosis was
not a viral disease and most males also said that it is not a viral. Most
of the females took this disease not as a bacterial and most males
said that it was not a bacterial disease [2-5]. Most of the females said
that it was not a fungal disease and males also had a same opinion.
Both males and females said that chromoblastomycosis was not a
genetic disease. Most females said that chromoblastomycosis was
a metabolic disease. But when we observed the disease then we
concluded that chromoblastomycosis was a fungal disease. Then,
next question asked from them that whether you, your family
member, relative, neighbor and friend suffered from this disease or
not then most of the females and males said no. The other question
asked to them whether the disease by contacts or blood transfer
or from parents to offspring was transmitted or not then the most
females said that disease was not transmitted by contacts or blood
transfer or from parents to offspring. The other question were
that either the disease was treated by medicines, surgery or no
treatment was available for that then most females and males said
that it could be treated by medicines [5-8].

In recent studies, questionnairebased studies had given an
important development. Alexandre pedroso in Saopolo, Brazil
studied the cases of Chromoblastomycosis in 1911. The name of
disease was blastomycosa negra. The name of a disease figueria
described by German Physician [9,10].
From present study, it was concluded that most of the females
said that chromoblastomycosis was not a viral, fungal, bacterial
disease. There is a 50% chance whether it may or may not be a viral,
fungal or bacterial.
