Sporotrichosis is a fungal infection occurring worldwide, especially in tropical and sub-tropical areas. We present a brief review of clinical and epidemiological aspects of sporotrichosis, as well as its treatment. Sporotrichosis is rarely reported in Europe and the European Centre of Disease Control does not track its infection rate. To fill this gap, we report a survey of clinical cases described over the past forty years in Europe and in Italy.

Abstract

Sporotrichosis is a fungal infection occurring worldwide, especially in tropical and sub-tropical areas. We present a brief review of clinical and epidemiological aspects of sporotrichosis, as well as its treatment. Sporotrichosis is rarely reported in Europe and the European Centre of Disease Control does not track its infection rate. To fill this gap, we report a survey of clinical cases described over the past forty years in Europe and in Italy.
