Abstract
SPOROTRICHOSIS, a disease of mycotic etiology, is caused by Sporotrichum schenckii. The disease is common in plants and is more common in animals than in man.1 In human beings sporotrichosis has been described in a localized lymphangitic form, a disseminated cutaneous form and an extracutaneous form. In its localized lymphatic form, it is characterized by the formation of indolent cutaneous and subcutaneous granulomatous lesions.The disease was first recognized in 1898 by Schenck, and in the past fifty years has been encountered in increasing frequency. Two hundred and six proved cases of sporotrichosis had been reported in the United States . . .Keywords
