Epidemiology of Clinical Sporotrichosis in the Americas in the Last Ten Years

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Background: Sporotrichosis is a fungal infection caused by species of the Sporothrix genus. Presently, the prevalence of sporotrichosis in the Americas is unknown, so this study aims to analyze the cases reported in the past 10 years.
