Pulmonary and Articular Sporotrichosis

Two rare forms of sporotrichosis were seen in one hospital within a two-year period. One, a case of primary sporotrichosis of the lung, represents the eighth case on record, to our knowledge. The other, a case of articular sporotrichosis, is not as rare, but is still uncommon manifestation of the disease. The problems in management of these two patients are of interest because of the challenge of conventional concepts of therapy.
