Abstract :
Sir, sporotrichosis, a subcutaneous infection caused by the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii, has two major variants, the commoner lymphangitic form and the rarer but morphologically more variable fixed form.1 Here we report a case of fixed sporotrichosis where atypical morphology and absence of fungal growth in culture presented a considerable diagnostic difficulty.
