169 Diagnosis of osteoarticular sporotrichosis in a immunocompetent female

Abstract

This is a report of a sporotrichosis case in a immunocompetent host: DJF, a 50 years old female veterinarian, admitted in an ambulatory of infecto-parasitic dermatoses in 2022. Her chief complaint was a hand wound with 1 month of evolution. Patient reported that she had been bitten by a cat 1 month prior, followed by local swelling, pain and erythema. She had already been medicated with antibiotics. After these treatments there was only partial improvement - in dermatologic examination the physician could still see nodular lesions on the back and palm of the right hand, at the site of the cat’s bite, with erythema, swelling and local pain, measuring 1cm.
