Abstract

Sporotrichosis is caused by fungi belonging to the genus Sporothrix, and is generally acquired by traumatic inoculation. A 26-year-old man developed pustular lesions and a 6-kg weight loss after developing a lesion on his right hand 6 months previously. He was diagnosed with acquired human immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and disseminated sporotrichosis cultures of bone and muscle biopsy and blood samples grew Sporothrix schenckii. The patient underwent reconstructive surgery and 9 months of treatment with amphotericin B and itraconazole, and showed complete wound healing and improved hand functionality. Suspicion of the disease is necessary in immunosuppressed patients living in endemic areas.
