Jason PY - 2021 T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous infection caused by the fungus Sporothrix schenckii and is acquired from moss, decaying vegetation, hay, and soil. It is usually seen in those whose vocation brings them into contact with the environment. The two primary manifestations involve the cutaneous and lymphocutaneous systems; however, osteoarticular, pulmonary, and disseminated forms (primarily in immunocompromised patients) may be seen from direct inoculation or through hematologic seeding.
