Abstract
Sporotrichosis is a fungal disease caused by the fungi of the Sporothrix schenckii family, it can occur subacute or chronic and mainly affects the subcutaneous and lymphatic tissue.
Transmission is carried out mainly by inoculation with contaminated material in areas of the skin that have a trauma. It affects men and women and is most common in pediatric and young adults patients. It is most widely distributed mycosis due to implantation in the world, it can be found in intertropical regions and in temperate climates. It presents several clinical forms, the most frequent is the lymphocutaneous form, that can be found in 70% of the cases, followed by the fixed form in 25%. The diagnosis is made by biopsy of the nodule to be able to carry out the mycological culture and confirm the diagnostic suspicion. The drug choice against the fixed and lymphangitic cutaneous forms is itraconazole, but it has the disadvantage of being a high-cost drug. The treatment in developing countries has been potassium iodide, since it is characterized by being effective, well tolerated, and low price.
