ABSTRACT

Sporotrichosis is a chronic fungal disease usually limited to cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues. The most common way of the infection is the skin trauma by a prick from a thorn or a piece from a variety of barks, trees and bushes. Occupations that predispose persons to infections includes: farmer-agriculturist, gardener, florist, planters of trees, forestry workers, horticulturist, workers of the greenhouses, orchids growers, outdoor labor, masonry, veterinarians and laboratory workers (microbiologist), and people involved in activities and exposure to contaminated soils, vegetations, wood, sphagnum moss, wheat, straw, prairie hay, corn husks and strubble, barks, thorny plants and shrubs, reeds, rose bushes, cat´s skin ulcers, rodent bites and punctures of insects. A critical review of published epidemics and the mechanisms of zoonotic cat´s transmitted infection, and the recent advances were also described.
