Facial Sporotrichosis by Sporothrix Brasiliensis in a Pediatric Patient: Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Dermatology Research - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Sporotrichosis is an endemic subcutaneous mycosis in Brazil, which zoonotic transmission through infected cats became responsible for the actual spread of the disease in the country. In this new epidemiological scenario, the species Sporothrix brasiliensis became relevant thanks to its greater virulence and adaptation to felines. We reported the case of facial sporotrichosis by S. brasiliensis in a 7-year-old child, successfully treated with a saturated potassium iodide solution, proving that this medication is safe and efficient for this age group.
