PY - 2023 T2 - Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 2023 AB - Sporotrichosis is a chronic fungal infection caused by organisms of the Sporothrix schenckii complex. It is worldwide in distribution; most patients have had contact with soil, sphagnum moss, or decaying wood. Infection takes place when the organism is inoculated into the skin—usually on the hand, arm, or foot, especially during gardening, or puncture from a rose thorn. In recent years, significant zoonotic transmission of Sporothrix brasiliensis has been documented in Brazil and Argentina driven by domesticated cat bites and scratches.
