LYMPHANGITIC SPOROTRICHOSIS - AN UNCOMMON BILATERAL LOCALIZATION

Sporotrichosis is a mycotic disease caused by cutaneous inoculation of the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii. The primary lesion can spr ead and often develop a unilateral lymphocutaneous lesions or, rarely, disseminated disease. We report a lymphangitic sporotrichosis case wi th ulcerated erythematous nodules distributed bilaterally on the poste rior and medial aspect of the both legs, probably due to multiple inoc ulations. The treatment with oral potassium iodide was satisfactory.
