Lymphocutaneous Sporotrichosis

Schwalb et al discuss the case of a 58-year-old male farmer from the Ancash region in the Peruvian highlands presented to the outpatient clinic with an ulcerated lesion on the left thumb and several nodular lesions on the left forearm. He sustained minor trauma from a wood splinter in his left thumb a month before presentation. Although lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis is not usually life-threatening, lesions will not resolve without treatment. The treatment outcome for this patient is unknown as his follow-up was done at the local medical center in his hometown.
