“…The cutaneous lymphatic form was only observed in 3 dogs, in agreement with other investigators who reported cases of canine sporotrichosis without apparent lymphatic involvement [7,8,12]. Although the cutaneous lymphatic form is the most frequent clinical presentation in humans, the same does not apply to cats [2] and, possibly, as noted in this investigation, to dogs.…”

A sporotichosis epidemic involving forty-four dogs in the Metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro is described. Solitary skin lesions were noted in 18 dogs (40.9%), 2-4 such lesions were observed in 17 animals (38.6%), and nine (20.5%) animals had five or more lesions. Twenty-five (56.8%) animals had single ulcerated skin lesions on the nose and nine (20.5%) showed nasal mucosal involvement (three of which also has a skin lesion). Respiratory symptoms were observed in 17 (38.6%) dogs and were found to be the most common extracutaneous signs of infection. Anemia, leukocytosis with neutrophilia, hypoalbuminemia and hyperglobulinemia were the most frequent hematological abnormalities. Histopathological analysis of skin biopsies in most cases revealed granulomatous reactions characterized by histiocytic hyperplasia and neutrophil infiltration. Yeast-like cells were observed in seven (16.7%) of 42 dogs examined histologically. During the study, eight (18.2%) animals were lost to follow-up and three (6.8%) were submitted to euthanasia. Of the remaining 33 dogs, five (15.2%) presented spontaneous regression of the lesions, 26 (78.8%) were cured after treatment, and two (6%) continue to be treated. The present cases indicate that many dogs with sporotrichosis respond well to treatment and in a few dogs, the disease may be self-limiting.

“…However, rare osteoarticular and disseminated forms have been noted in the literature [6,7]. Until the 1990s, the largest series of cases involving dogs consisted of only 12 animals [8]. Since 1998, a sporotrichosis epidemic affecting domestic pets and humans has been observed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [2,9,10].…”

During the period from 1987 to 1998, 13 cases of human sporotrichosis were recorded at the Research Center Evandro Chagas Hospital (CPqHEC) in Rio de Janeiro. Two of these patients related scratch by a sick cat. During the subsequent period from July 1998 to July 2000, 66 human, 117 cats and 7 dogs with sporotrichosis were diagnosed at the CPqHEC. Fifty-two humans (78.8%) reported contact with cats with sporotrichosis, and 31 (47%) of them reporting a history of a scratch or bite. This epidemic, unprecedented in the literature, involving cats, dogs and human beings may have started insidiously before 1998

“…11,12 In Brazil, sporotrichosis has been reported since 1907, 13 especially in São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul. [14][15][16][17][18] This justifies our interest in reporting cases of sporotrichosis diagnosed in this geographic area. This report describes cases of sporotrichosis seen at the division of dermatology of Irmandade Santa Casa de Misericórdia Hospital Complex, Porto Alegre, Brazil, during a 35-year period.…”
