Periódico: MEDICAL MYCOLOGY CASE REPORTS

Resumo: Recently, sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis transmitted during tattooing process was described in the epicenter of the Brazilian epidemic sporotrichosis. We report a similar case of this mycosis in a patient recently tattooed, but probably infected by a sick cat instead of via a contaminated procedure. Clinical cure was attained after two months of oral itraconazole. In the hyperendemic S. brasiliensis regions of sporotrichosis, health professionals must be aware of atypical transmissions of this fungus.
