Abstract

We report 6 cases of sporotricosis including 3 cases of lymphocutaneous type and 3 cases of fixed cutaneous type. There were 3 males and 3 females patients in the age between 5 to 63 year-old age. Clinically, histopathologically and mycologically, we diagnosed the cases as the sporotrichosis. And then case 1 and 2 were treated with potassium iodide for 9 weeks and 15 weeks duration. Case 3, 4, 5 and 6 were treated with itraconazole for 10-14 weeks duration. All patients were almost healed without recurrence.
