Sporotrichosis Caused by Non-Wild Type Sporothrix brasiliensis Strains. [PDF]

Front Cell Infect Microbiol, 2022
The zoonotic transmission of sporotrichosis due to Sporothrix brasiliensis occurs largely in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil since the 1990´s. Most patients infected with S. brasiliensis respond well to itraconazole or terbinafine. However, a few patients have a slow response or do not respond to the treatment and develop a chronic infection.
