AI Article Synopsis
- - Sporotrichosis is an emerging disease primarily transmitted from infected cats to humans, with significant outbreaks starting in Brazil and spreading through Latin America.
- - The text discusses two cases of human sporotrichosis in Buenos Aires, Argentina, both linked to exposure to sick cats, who responded well to different treatments.
- - Genotyping analysis shows that the infection in these two cases likely came from the same source in Brazil, highlighting the interconnectedness of zoonotic diseases in the region.
Article Abstract
is considered a highly virulent emerging pathogen that causes sporotrichosis in humans, mainly after zoonotic transmission from infected cats. The epidemic of this zoonosis that originated from Brazil has spread in the last decades, generating hyperendemic regions in Latin America. We present two cases of human sporotrichosis causes by in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with good clinical response to differing treatments after contact with sick cats. Using Short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping, the two cases appear to be introduced from Brazil and likely originate from the same source.
