Sporotrichosis is caused by the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii complex which includes S. brasiliensis, S. albicans, S. mexicana, S. schenckiisensustricto and S. globose [1]. It has a worldwide distribution, especially in the tropical and subtropical zones [2]. The infection generally occurs by traumatic inoculation of plants, soil and organic matter that contains the fungus. It can also be acquired by inhalation of spores, although this form of transmission is not common. It has a wide variety of clinical presentations. Hematogenous dissemination can also occur, especially in immunocompromised hosts. It can affect the skin, lungs, bones, joints and other organs [3]. Animals can act as vectors of the disease, cats in particular have been shown to carry a large number of fungus in their nails and oral cavity [4]. Treatment options include solution of potassium iodide, itraconazole, fluconazole, amphotericin B and terbinafine [5].
