First report of sporotrichosis by Sporothrix brunneoviolacea

Year: 2025

Type: article

Study design: Case Report

Abstract: Sporotrichosis is a neglected fungal disease, affecting mammals. Here, a feline patient presented a small ulcerated lesion. Short treatment by itraconazole resulted in clinical cure. The isolate was identified as Sporothrix brunneoviolacea by sequencing. Despite proper growth, antifungal susceptibility testing by microbroth dilution could not be performed due to a lack of growth. This is the first report of sporotrichosis by S. brunneoviolacea , which was originally classified as an environmental and non-pathogenic species.
