Abstract

Four cases of cutaneous sporotrichosis occurring in the northern Virginia area are presented. The fungus was easily isolated on mycologic media; however, Gram stains of the exudate rarely revealed the causative agent. The patients were treated with either griseofulvin or potassium iodide, with good results. The authors believe that no cases of sporotrichosis occurring in Virginia have been recorded in the medical literature prior to this report.
