Article Synopsis
- - The rise of sporotrichosis, caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis, has seen an increase since the late 1990s in Brazil and neighboring countries, with changes in its clinical profile and no national consensus on treatment guidelines for almost 25 years.
- - A group of twelve experts divided into three teams focused on updating clinical classifications, diagnostic methods, and treatment recommendations for sporotrichosis through extensive bibliographic research and remote meetings.
