PEREIRA, João Cláudio Barroso et al. Disseminated sporotrichosis - Clinical case and discussion. Rev Port Pneumol [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.3, pp.443-449. ISSN 0873-2159.

The authors report a case of a patient with a prior history of alcohol abuse who developed nodules and ulcerated skin lesions on his trunk and lower extremities along the line of the lymphatic draining area. The patient's X-ray showed reticular nodular intersticial infiltrates at the lung bases. There was a positive culture of supraclavicular lymph node for Sporothrix schenckii. After specific treatment using mainly potassium iodide, there was regression of cutaneous lesions and lung infiltrates. The authors present a discussion on the deseases' forms of presentation, highlighting the lung involvement ans further discuss the diagnosis and treatment of sporotrichosis.

Palavras-chave : Sporotrichosis; cutaneous lesions; intersticial infiltrates of lung bases.
