Abstract | Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis caused
by thermodimorphic fungi of Sporothrix schenckii
complex and is usually transmitted as a result of
traumatic inoculation of these microorganisms;
infection can produce a number of manifestations.
1,2 In Brazil, sporotrichosis has been a major
public health issue, with multiple outbreaks occurring
because of zoonotic transmission, including
contact with cats, and S brasiliensis is the most
prevalent agent in Rio de Janeiro State.3,4
Immunocompromised individuals are thought to
be at increased risk of developing a more severe
clinical presentation.5 Disseminated sporotrichosis
in immunocompetent individuals as result of contact
with cats has becoming increasingly reported.
6,7 Historically, cases of sporotrichosis in
the Brazilian northeast have been infrequently
reported, and this was not thought to be an
endemic area for this mycosis. Herein, we report
4 cases of disseminated sporotrichosis in patients in
a public hospital in Pernambuco. Publication of this
case series report was granted institutional review
board approval by the Ethics Committee in
Research at the Federal University of
Pernambuco, Brazil. | pt_BR |
