Abstract:
Eleven cases of sporotrichosis treated in our clinic were statically evaluated and two cases suffered by farmers are presented. In urban areas, because of the great popularity of gardening, patients with sporotrichosis are increasing among gardeners. Because sporotrichosis is an occupational skin disease, enlightenment of farmers and gardeners regarding the importance of prevention of skin injury as a route to infection during farm work or gardening is necessary. In addition, dermatologists have to spread information regarding the fungal infections to the public.
