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.
