Article Synopsis
- Sporotrichosis, caused by the fungus Sporothrix schenckii, has been documented in the northern Himalayan and northeastern regions of India, with three native cases reported in Sikkim.
- Fluid from the lesions was analyzed, confirming the presence of the fungus and showing a granulomatous reaction, which is indicative of the infection.
- Treatment involved potassium iodide, and in one case, itraconazole was also used; increasing awareness and studying the environment are essential to assess the disease's prevalence.
