Abstract:
A case of cutaneous, lymphatic Sporotrichosis, in a farm labourer, is presented. The diagnosis was established by isolating fungus from the lesion. Dimorphic nature of the fungus was established in vitro by demonstrating the mycelial phase at 25-30 degrees C and yeast phase at 37 degrees C. The patient responded well to oral administration of Potassium iodide.
