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 spread and often develop a unilateral lymphocutaneous lesions or, rarely, disseminated disease. We report a lymphangitic sporotrichosis case with ulcerated erythematous nodules distributed bilaterally on the posterior and medial aspect of the both legs, probably due to multiple inoculations. The treatment with oral potassium iodide was satisfactory. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
