Identification by MALDI-TOF MS of Isolated from a Subconjunctival Infiltrative Lesion in an Immunocompetent Patient.

Sporotrichosis is a globally distributed subcutaneous fungal infection caused by dimorphic fungi belonging to the species complex that affects the skin of limbs predominantly, but not exclusively. A rare case of ocular sporotrichosis in an immunocompetent Brazilian patient from the countryside of Rio de Janeiro State is reported. A 68-year-old woman presented with a subconjunctival infiltrative lesion in the right eye with pre-auricular lymphadenopathy of onset 4 months ago that evolved to suppurative nodular lesions on the eyelids.
