| Abstract | We studied 52 patients with sporotrichosis confirmed by isolation of Sporothrix schenckiiand reactivity to the Montenegroskin test (MST) during an ongoing outbreak of this mycosis in Rio de Janeiro. The objective was to emphasize the importance of parasitological confirmation and the possibility of incorrect diagnosis based on the lesion’s appearance, epidemiological information, and immunological tests. The antigen used for the MST was conserved in either thimerosal 1:10,000 (group 1) or 0.4% phenol (group 2). Nineteen patients (39%) in group 1 and seven (12%) in group 2 presented an induration ≥10 mm(p< 0.001). Sera from three patients (6.7%) reacted to indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) for leishmaniasis, while sera from 10 patients (22.2%) reacted to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Fifteen patients (28.8%) presented up to two lesions, with a predominance of ulcers. Forty-four patients (84.6%) were treated with itraconazole. In the differential diagnosis between sporotrichosis and cutaneous leishmaniasis, the possibility of co-infection, allergy to the reagent diluent, and cross-reactions should be further investigated, especially in regions with limited laboratory facilities. | pt_BR |
