Sporotrichosis is a human and animal disease caused by dimorphic pathogenic species of the genus .

She was successfully treated with amphotericin B deoxycholate followed by itraconazole. Sporotrichosis remains a neglected opportunistic infection in patients with AIDS and awareness of this potentially fatal infection is of utmost importance.
