Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis with a worldwide distribution caused by species of the Sporothrix schenkii complex. Since 1998, it has reached epidemic proportions in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, via transmission from infected cats to humans. The species identified as the primary cause was Sporothrix brasiliensis. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
