Article Synopsis
- Sporotrichosis is a widespread fungal infection often seen in a lymphocutaneous form, and when it affects the eye, it typically involves conjunctival and surrounding tissues.
- A case study is presented involving a 13-year-old girl with nodules near her left eye that developed over the past month.
- In Brazil, where sporotrichosis is hyperendemic, diagnosis relies on clinical signs, patient history, and lab culture; medical professionals need to recognize this condition.
