Sporotrichosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease that is spreading and causing epidemics in large urban centers. Cats are the most susceptible species to develop the disease, which could cause significant systemic lesions. The aim was to investigate and to identify predictive indicators of disease progression by correlations between the blood profile (hematological and biochemical analytes) and cutaneous lesion patterns of 70 cats diagnosed with .

Article Synopsis
  • Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly recognized as pathogens causing skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs), facing diagnostic and treatment obstacles due to the absence of standardized guidelines.
  • A study analyzed data from 142 patients diagnosed with NTM SSTIs over a nine-year period, revealing the most common species were M. marinum, MAC, and MABC, with a significant annual increase in cases and a notable prevalence of immunocompromised patients, particularly in the MAC group.
  • Misdiagnosis was common, with most cases initially mistaken for skin tuberculosis or bacterial infections; amikacin was identified as the most effective antibiotic, while resistance to other drugs like cefoxitin was frequent among certain NTM

SUMMARYSporotrichosis is a subacute-to-chronic infection endemic to tropical and subtropical regions. It usually involves subcutaneous tissue but can occasionally cause extracutaneous infections, especially in hyperendemic areas. Extracutaneous infections are classified based on the anatomic location of the lesion and the route of infection (primary or multifocal).

Background: Pregnant women constitute a vulnerable population occasionally affected by zoonotic sporotrichosis. Treatment is challenging due to potentially teratogenic oral medications (itraconazole and saturated potassium iodide solution) or lack of clinical experience during pregnancy (terbinafine). Literature is scarce on sporotrichosis and pregnancy, mainly consisting of case reports.
