Abstract
We report here the case of a 12-year-old girl with concomitant cutaneo us and ocular sporotrichosis. Sporothrix schenckii was isolated from s kin lesions and aqueous humour. The difficulty in the diagnosis and tr eatment of this form of mycosis is discussed and the data are compared with those published in the few reports available in the literature.
