“…Microbial etiologies can often be differentiated on the basis of detailed history, geographic distribution, mode of acquisition, and clinical features . Biopsy of a lesion for histology, routine stains (Gram, silver, periodic acid–Schiff), and cultures (fungi, mycobacteria, viruses, bacteria) are indicated and can direct specific therapy for each patient .…”

“…Other rare organisms associated with nodular lymphangitis include Staphylococcus aureus [ 10 ], Streptococcus pyogenes , and Pseudomonas pseudomallei , although the only pyogenic bacteria frequently documented in association with sporotrichoid lesions are group A Streptococci and coagulase-positive Staphylococci [ 1 ]. Despite being a great simulator, no convincing cases of sporotrichoid lesions associated with syphilis have been reported.…”

Nodular lymphangitis, also known as sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous infections, is characterized by suppurative inflammatory nodules along the lymphatic vessels. This manifestation is classic of sporotrichosis, however, other infections such as nocardiosis, atypical mycobacteriosis, leishmaniasis, among others, can also express this clinical pattern. Sporotrichosis, which often occurs in gardeners, remains the most recognized cause of nodular lymphangitis. The histopathological studies, as well as the culture are diagnostic standards of lesions that do not respond to empirical treatment. In this article, we will review the main causes of nodular lymphangitis or lymphocutaneous sporotrichoid infections.

“…The skin lesions and histopathological findings in cases caused by different pathogens were very similar. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]15 Skin biopsy and culture was considered a standard diagnostic procedure for this diseases, but the yield of identified pathogens was very low. In addition, in skin cultures, Sporothrix spp.…”

“… 3 This syndrome is caused by various organisms, including fungi, mycobacteria, bacteria, viruses, and parasites. 4 – 10 Sporothrix spp., a fungus that occurs worldwide, has been recognized as a common pathogen causing sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous infection. 11 Increasing rates of the infection caused by Mycobacterium 12 , 13 and dematiaceous fungus 14 have been reported recently in Asian countries, especially in Thailand.…”

Sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous infection is caused by a variety of pathogens. However, in most cases, the causative pathogen cannot be identified on the basis of clinical and histopathological features. We examined the clinical manifestations, histopathologic findings, causative pathogens, treatment, and prognostic factors of sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous infection, specifically in the context of Thailand. The electronic medical records of patients with sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous infection who visited Songklanagarind Hospital from January 2000 to December 2010 were reviewed. A total of 53 patients were included; 41 (77.4%) were female, 12 (22.6%) were male, and the mean (SD) age was 52.9 (± 15.9) years. Nodules, plaques, and papules were the most commonly observed morphologies. Upper extremities were the most commonly infected sites. Mammal-caused injuries were associated with fungal infection but not at a statistically significant level. The most common histopathologic finding was suppurative granuloma. The identified causative pathogens were mainly dematiaceous fungus and occasionally nontuberculous Mycobacterium. Itraconazole was the medication of choice for empiric and specific treatment of the patients with confirmed fungal infection. Dematiaceous fungi were the most common identified pathogens causing sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous infection in southern Thailand. Empirical itraconazole is useful, especially in patients who report contact injury caused by pets at the primary lesion site. Skin biopsy for tissue histopathology and culture is essential.
