“…Public health officials might not detect or investigate these outbreaks, as no routine surveillance for sporotrichosis exists. Our observation of higher sporotrichosis rates in Oklahoma and Kansas is consistent with past outbreaks linked to contaminated hay in those states ( 6 – 8 ).…”

While isolated cases of sporotrichosis typically occur following contact with contaminated plant materials, outbreaks are distinctly unusual. A temporal increase in the incidence of sporotrichosis in a dermatology practice at a military installation in southwestern Oklahoma prompted an investigation. Patients with sporotrichosis presenting to a single dermatologist in the winter of 1992-1993 were interviewed, epidemiological data were collected, and fungal cultures were obtained from incriminated hay fields. Five patients presented with cutaneous sporotrichosis during a 5-week period beginning in December 1992. Four patients had maintained hay bales in a Halloween haunted house and the fifth patient had visited the house once. As in 3 previous reports, this outbreak was associated with stored hay or hay bales harvested in the US plains states. Contact with hay should be recognized as a risk factor for infection with Sporothrix schenckii. Outbreaks are possible given adequate intensity of exposure and may be difficult to recognize because of the delayed presentation of clinical illness.

Although sporotrichosis is reputed to occur only rarely in children, we have seen 11 such children in the last ten years. Questionnaires were sent to the parents of these children and the data from the questionnaires were compared to the data available for 36 previously reported cases in children. We found that the clinical lesions of sporotrichosis are identical in children and adults but that children are a little less likely to have visible lymphatic satellite lesions and are a little more likely to have lesions on the face and trunk, probably as a result of rough and tumble outdoor play. Oral potassium iodide therapy was curative and recurrences were not a problem. Scarring occurred at the site of the original lesion but was not considered disfiguring.Sporotri chosi s is stated to oc¬ cur only rarely in children,1-' but our experience suggests that at least in the state of Michigan the medical literature is an inaccurate reflection of the actual incidence. During the last ten years, we have seen 11 chil¬ dren with sporotrichosis, the largest experience with children thus far re¬ ported. On the basis of this ex¬ perience, and a review of 36 pre¬ viously reported cases of children with sporotrichosis,211 we wish to characterize the disease as it occurs in the pediatrie population. MethodsUniversity of Michigan Hospital records from 1960 to 1970 were searched for patients less than 15 years of age who had a coded diagnosis of sporotrichosis. Eleven
