ABSTRACT

Sporotrichosis is a mycosis caused by a dimorphic fungus of the Sporothrix schenckii complex. Localized lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis represents up to 95% of the cases and it is the most frequent form, but disseminated cutaneous forms are so rare.
We report a 62-year-old female from Puebla, Mexico, with disseminated cutaneous sporotrichosis with an 8-year history, without specific treatment. The diagnosis of sporotrichosis caused by S. schenckii sensu stricto was established through the isolation of the pathogen and its identification through PCR. The patient was treated with potassium iodide successfully.
