Introduction: Sporotrichosis is a mycosis affecting both humans and animals. Within the context of the ongoing sporotrichosis epidemic in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, sick cats plays an important role in the zoonotic transmission. The aim of this study was to update the number of feline cases diagnosed at the Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011). Methods: The medical records of the cats followed were reviewed; the inclusion criterion was the isolation of Sporothrix spp. in culture. Results: In total, 2,301 feline cases were identifi ed. Conclusions: These results should alert sanitary authorities to the diffi culties associated with sporotrichosis control.Keywords: Sporothrix spp. Sporotrichosis. Cat. Zoonosis. Epidemiology.Sporotrichosis is an implantation mycosis caused by different species of the genus Sporothrix. The disease occurs worldwide but is endemic in Latin America, especially in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the fi rst epidemic of zoonotic sporotrichosis was described at the end of the 1990s 1 . The animal species most affected is the cat, which can exhibit a wide spectrum of clinical signs ranging from a single cutaneous lesion to a disseminated form 2,3 . Unlike the lesions observed in humans and dogs, cutaneous lesions in felines carry a high parasite burden, making the cat an important source of infection in the zoonotic transmission of this fungus 1,3,4 . In the past 14 years, transmission of S. schenckii from scratches, bites or contact with sick cats has been reported in Brazil The medical records of the cats followed at Lapclin-Dermzoo from January 2005 to December 2011 were reviewed; the inclusion criterion was the diagnosis of sporotrichosis confi rmed by isolation of Sporothrix spp. in culture. The data collected from each cat were stored and processed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 16.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Simple frequencies for the categorical variables (origin, gender, breed, reproductive status, the distribution of cutaneous lesions and the presence of at least 2 cats per domicile) and measures of tendency for the quantitative variables (age and the duration of cutaneous lesions before the fi rst clinical visit) were determined. The frequencies of clinical characteristics of the cohort of cats were described by univariate analysis.In total, 2,301 cats with sporotrichosis were diagnosed at IPEC/FIOCRUZ. Due to the retrospective nature of this study, not all data were available for every animal. In this analysis, regarding the variables origin, gender, breed and reproductive status, respectively, 206, 46, 172 and 206 records were excluded because of incomplete data. All of the cats were from metropolitan regions of the State of Rio de Janeiro, mainly Rio de Janeiro municipality (61.2%; n = 2,095). The majority were male (66.4%; n = 2,255), mongrel (89.3%; n = 2,129) and unneutered (73.1%; n = 2,281). The median age of the cats was 2 years old. The median time between the appearance of cutaneous le...

“…The infection was typically chronic and may favour the super infection of CSOM by Staphylococcus aureus. It usually occurs in people occasionally exposed to outdoor works like mine workers, farm workers, gardeners and florists (Xavier et al, 2013). Mucocutaneous type of sporotrichosis is occasional and generally occurs on mouth, pharynx and nose.…”

Los pacientes pueden referir prurito y dolor, y en casos excepcionales, puede ocurrir linfedema en caso de que el drenaje linfático esté comprometido (2,3,9).…”

“…Aunque el trauma es la principal forma de transmisión, también puede ocurrir por arañazos o mordeduras de animales (gatos, armadillos), apoyando el concepto de zoonosis (13,15,16). Aunque menos común, la transmisión por la inhalación del hongo a través del tracto respiratorio superior también puede presentarse, llevando a un riesgo considerable de desarrollar neumonitis granulomatosa (simulando una infección por tuberculosis) y diseminación hematógena (13).…”

ResumenLas micosis subcutáneas hacen referencia a infecciones producidas por hongos que se encuentran en la naturaleza, adquiridas por inoculación directa y limitadas a la dermis y tejido celular subcutáneo, pero pueden extenderse hacia la epidermis o hacia planos más profundos llegando a comprometer estructuras óseas, así como diseminarse y producir enfermedad sistémica. Dentro de las micosis subcutáneas más importantes en nuestro medio y de las cuales se hablarán en este artículo están la esporotricosis y la cromoblastomicosis; mientras que las menos frecuentes incluyen micetoma, quistes faeomicóticos, lacaziosis y la zigomicosis subcutánea.Palabras clave: Dermatomicosis, Esporotricosis, Cromoblastomicosis, Micosis subcutáneas. AbstractSubcutaneous mycoses, refer to infections caused by fungi which the ecologic niche is the nature, they are acquired by direct inoculation, limited to the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, but may extend into the epidermis or deeper levels reaching compromise bone structures and systemic spread and cause disease. Among the most important in our country, and which will discuss in this article, subcutaneous mycoses are sporotrichosis and chromoblastomycosis, mycetoma include less frequent, the faeomycosis, lacaziosis, and subcutaneous zygomycosis.Keywords: Dermatomycoses, Sporotrichosis, Chromoblastomycosis, Subcutaneous mycosis. IntroducciónLas infecciones micóticas incluyen un amplio grupo que van desde entidades superficiales hasta infecciones profundas asociadas a planos más profundos, que incluso llegan a comprometer estructuras óseas o diseminarse y producir enfermedad sistémica. Dentro de las micosis subcutáneas más importantes en nuestro medio están la esporotricosis y la cromoblastomicosis; las menos frecuentes son micetoma, quistes faeomicóticos, lacaziosis y zigomicosis subcutánea. Los microrganismos causantes se inoculan en la piel luego de un trauma con material vegetal contaminado con el hongo y por esto también han sido llamadas micosis de implantación (1,2).
