“…The clinical characteristics of sporotrichosis exhibited by our patients are consistent with previous findings that revealed an average period of 2-10 months from lesion progression to disease diagnosis. 17,28,32,34 Our results on the most frequent clinical forms of the disease also agree with previous studies demonstrating that the prevalence of the lymphocutaneous form was between 52% and 92%, followed by the fixed cutaneous form (13-48% of the cases). 12,19,[25][26][27]29 In our study, we observed a similar involvement of lower and upper limbs (46.2% versus 45.6%, respectively).…”

“…This result is in contrast to most studies reported in the literature, which demonstrated that 52-92% of lesions were located in upper limbs. 12,17,19,[26][27][28]32 Of note, only 0.6% of the patients exhibited facial lesions, a finding similar to previous reports 12,17,19,[26][27][28] and in contrast to the clinical pattern described in the province of Abancay in Peru, where 44% of the patients, mostly aged less than 14 years, presented with facial lesions. 29 Sporothrix spp.…”

“…More than ten years after the publication of the results of Rosa et al (2005), in a recent study evaluating 25 patients with S. schenckii infection in the state of São Paulo conducted by Marques et al (2015), despite the small size of the sample, a high prevalence of the disease was also found in male individuals, mostly rural workers, who also had their upper limbs as the region most affected by the microorganism. This study differed from others (Oyarce et al, 2016;Rosa et al, 2005) because it emphasized sporotrichosis in its lymphocutaneous form as the most prevalent in the majority of individuals followed up.…”

“…In a recent study conducted in Peru by Oyarce et al (2016), 94 patients with a positive diagnosis for sporotrichosis were evaluated, the majority of them were males and residents of poor regions distributed throughout the country. The cutaneous and lymphocutaneous forms of the disease were the most commonly observed, especially affecting the upper limbs.…”
