Abstract:
Sporotrichosis is an implantation mycosis caused by Sporothrix species. The global burden of disease is largely unknown, as routine surveillance is not conducted in most countries. The increasing disease burden paired with emerging zoonotic transmission highlight the growing public health significance of sporotrichosis. In this article, we describe the epidemiology and outline an approach to the diagnosis and treatment of sporotrichosis.
