Abstract
Sporotrichosis, a cutaneous or subcutaneous infection caused by the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix species, is widely distributed in China, with a notably higher incidence during colder seasons in northeastern Jilin Province. Recent advancements in Sporothrix taxonomy have significantly improved our understanding of diagnosis, epidemiology, and treatment strategies. In this review, we described the updated overview of recent progress of sporotrichosis, including etiology, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies, to provide a comprehensive description of preventive measures and control strategies aimed at facilitating future breakthroughs in research. We highlighted the geographical and population distributions specific to Jilin, China. The ongoing research efforts of novel diagnostic technologies, nanodrugs or nanoformulations treatment options are developed to advance knowledge about this sporotrichosis and its agents.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of General Medicine is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on general and internal medicine, pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment protocols. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research and clinical studies across all disease areas.
A key focus of the journal is the elucidation of disease processes and management protocols resulting in improved outcomes for the patient. Patient perspectives such as satisfaction, quality of life, health literacy and communication and their role in developing new healthcare programs and optimizing clinical outcomes are major areas of interest for the journal.
As of 1st April 2019, the International Journal of General Medicine will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
