“…Feline sporotrichosis is now reported in all states of the southeastern region of Brazil: Rio de Janeiro [23,25,31,46], São Paulo [24], Espírito Santo [63], Minas Gerais [64], Rio Grande do Sul [65], Paraná [66], and Santa Catarina [67]. Rio Grande do Sul State (RS) has the second largest series of feline sporotrichosis recorded in the literature [29,45,65] and the sporotrichosis outbreak was also registered in the late 1990s [68,69].…”

We herein present a Brazilian guideline for the management of feline sporotrichosis, a mycosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis. This guideline is an effort of a national technical group organized by the Working Group on Sporothrix and Sporotrichosis of the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM). This publication intends to provide information on clinicalepidemiological aspects of this zoonosis, as well as a literature revision. Moreover, it gives some practical information on diagnosis and treatment of feline sporotrichosis. It also contains information that can be helpful for the prevention and control of S. brasiliensis transmission.

“…Given the severity of zoonotic sporotrichosis in Brazil, public policy measures to increase education and the surveillance and control of this disease in all RS regions is urgently needed. Furthermore, considering our data with other studies reporting the increase of the disease from other states of Brazil, 4,35–38 sporotrichosis needs, urgently, to be included in the national list of diseases requiring compulsory notification to receive the attention that this public health problem deserves.…”

Background Sporotrichosis is a disease not requiring jurisdictional notification and consequently is underreported in Brazil. Therefore, the epidemiological picture even in hyperendemic states is unknown. Thus, we evaluated the occurrence of sporotrichosis throughout the territory of the southern state of Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul (RS). Methods We update the epidemiological situation of sporotrichosis in the southern region of this state and describe the emergence of this disease in the Metropolitan region. We engaged professionals from RS enrolled in animal health care in answering a questionnaire regarding sporotrichosis. Results The occurrence of local cases of feline sporotrichosis was reported by 83% of the participants from 40 cities, distributed through the seven health districts of RS. Human sporotrichosis cases, transmitted by cats, were also reported by professionals from four regions of the state. The frequency of the disease in both the South and Metropolitan regions showed a marked increase in recent years. Conclusion Feline and cat‐transmitted human sporotrichosis is an underreported mycosis in RS, widely distributed in the territory of this state and increasing. Aggressive public health policies are urgently necessary to control the geographical expansion of this spreading mycosis.

“…Despite being neutered, access to the street represented an important element of risk, contributing to infection in the index case. In the same region, there is a three times greater probability of a positive diagnosis of sporotrichosis in cats with street access 7 . Another study showed that wandering freely on the streets is a significant risk factor for Sporothrix spp.…”

Although sporotrichosis requires a broad approach for control, few reports have described the relationship between the index case and secondary contacts. In the present work, we report an outbreak involving a woman, a dog, and two cats from the same household environment, including the clinical and epidemiological aspects and outcomes, and discuss the importance of a One Health approach to face this neglected disease. The joint efforts of professionals such as veterinarians and physicians are essential for early diagnosis and surveillance, which contributes to the rapid identification and control of zoonotic sporotrichosis outbreaks.
