AI Article Synopsis
- Unlabelled is a thermally dimorphic fungus commonly found in soil and plant matter, causing sporotrichosis, which can affect the skin, bones, and joints.
- The most common form is cutaneous sporotrichosis, while disseminated sporotrichosis is rare and can lead to severe joint destruction and permanent disability.
- This case emphasizes the potential severity of sporotrichosis and the challenges in achieving timely diagnoses.
Article Abstract
Unlabelled: is a thermally dimorphic fungus found in soil and in plant matter. Cutaneous sporotrichosis is the most common manifestation and disseminated sporotrichosis is the rarest. Delayed diagnoses are not uncommon. We report a case of disseminated sporotrichosis involving the skin, bones and joints, with subsequent joint destruction, tissue loss and permanent disability.
Contribution: This case report highlights the debilitating potential of sporotrichosis and its often elusive nature regarding diagnosis.
