This case is worthy of report since it represents a type of infection seen most frequently in France and rarely in the United States.

Sporotrichosis is an infection caused by one of several species of the genus Sporotrichum, a fungus of the class fungi imperfecti of the conidia-bearing group. The infection is subacute or chronic and is characterized usually by . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
