Abstract

Paola Machado Gomes Esteves, Beatriz Moritz Trope, Marcella Gramigna Magalhaes Barbalho, Tyomi Akiti and Marcia Ramos-e-Silva

The authors present a case of sporotrichosis, a systemic fungal infection frequently observed in Rio de Janeiro, where nowadays most cases are transmitted by cats. The disseminated cutaneous form, as seen in our patient, is rare and shows multiple cutaneous lesions. This form is almost always associated with immunosuppression, as the case we present, who was diagnosed as HIV+ during the diagnostic evaluation of the mycosis.
