Abstract:
A case of fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis that developed on the extensor aspect of the left wrist of an 83-year-old woman was treated once a week with 200 mg of oral fluconazole. This dermatological lesion healed within 4 months, leaving a scar. No side-effects were seen. At the time of writing, 7 months after the end of treatment, there has been no recurrence. Reports on the efficacy of once-weekly fluconazole administration in cases of sporotrichosis have appeared, but it would be valuable to study more such cases.
