“…Historically, sporotrichosis referred to a disease caused by the single species, Sporothrix schenckii [1]. However more recently, morphologically similar, but taxonomically diverse sibling species have emerged.…”

“…S. schenckii, now recognized as the S. schenckii species complex, consists of five distinct species: S. schenckii sensu strictu , S. brasiliensis, S. globosa, S. mexicana and S. luriei [2]. Aggregated for their pathogenicity and virulence, these phylogenetic species are capable of causing acute or chronic subcutaneous and disseminated mycosis [1].…”

“…Sporotrichosis is highly prevalent. It occurs globally with higher prevalence observed in tropical and subtropical regions, namely Japan, China, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and India [1]. Historically, transcutaneous traumatic implantation was thought to be the predominant mode of transmission, but rare cases of pulmonary and disseminated sporotrichosis due to fungal spore inhalation have been reported [3].…”

Sporotrichosis is a mycotic infection caused by the Sporothrix schenckii species complex. It typically presents as a localized, mostly cutaneous or lymphocutaneous infection, but has been increasingly presenting as a disseminated infection in immunocompromised individuals, especially in HIV/AIDS patients. We also included a literature review of sporotrichosis in this patient population. The aim of this case report is to raise awareness about atypical presentations of sporotrichosis in an attempt to decrease the time to diagnosis, initiate treatment earlier when infection is suspected, and improve overall survival in vulnerable patient populations.
