“…In addition, most of the cases had presented lymphadenitis, while lymphangitis was uncommon [6,9]. Rare forms of sporotrichosis that can develop in dogs include osteoarticular and disseminated forms [9,13,14].…”

Sporotrichosis occurs worldwide, and the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is a main endemic area, with a large number of human and animal cases in the last 19 years. This mycosis is more frequently described in cats rather than in dogs. There are a limited number of oral antifungal agents for the treatment of sporotrichosis in animals. In this context, the effectiveness of terbinafine in the treatment of sporotrichosis in humans, as well as the promising results of in vitro susceptibility tests, inspired us to use this drug in the therapy of this mycosis in dogs. We reported for the first time the use of terbinafine in the treatment of two dogs with sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis. Moreover, we provided an overview of therapeutic features of canine sporotrichosis cases reported since the 1960s. One of the dogs presented the fixed cutaneous form of the disease, while the other patient presented hyperemia of the nasal mucosa and respiratory signs only. Terbinafine showed high antifungal activity in vitro against the canine Sporothrix isolates. The dogs were successfully treated with terbinafine, with remission of all clinical signs initially presented. The current reports indicate that this drug can emerge as a therapeutic option for canine sporotrichosis.

“…O aspecto radiográfico das lesões era muito semelhante ao do caso ora relatado, os autores também observaram osteólise, que regrediu após oito semanas de tratamento com itraconazol. As alterações ósseas observadas em pacientes com esporotricose podem estar associadas a processos fúngicos crônicos (Farias et al, 2015).…”

Relata-se um caso de esporotricose em um felino, macho, sem raça definida, com quatro meses de idade e que não tinha contactante ou acesso à rua, em que houve aparente acometimento humano. Paciente apresentava lesão edematosa, ulcerativa, com pontos necróticos e exsudato sero-sanguinolento no dígito do membro torácico direito. A citopatologia da lesão revelou a presença de estruturas leveduriformes compatíveis com Sporothrix sp. A radiografia evidenciou osteólise no dígito do membro torácico direito. O uso isolado de itraconazol se mostrou eficaz no tratamento. A remissão completa das lesões ocorreu em 12 semanas. O tutor foi encaminhado para atendimento médico e foi, devidamente, tratado. A esporotricose demanda tempo prolongado de tratamento e esclarecimento de proprietários acerca dos cuidados no manejo do animal. No presente caso, os tutores demonstraram resistência em comparecer às consultas de acompanhamento clínico presencial, condição agravada pelo diagnóstico positivo de SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) em um dos tutores.

Canine sporotrichosis is a poorly described global disease and a spatial approach has not yet been used to assess the disease in dogs. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the occurrence of canine sporotrichosis in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 1998 to 2018 and its correlation with socioeconomic characteristics using exploratory spatial data analysis. A total of 295 cases of canine sporotrichosis were identified and 249 were georeferenced. There was a higher concentration of cases in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, as well as along the border of the city and the adjacent municipalities in the great metropolitan area. The cases occurred in areas where most of the dwellings are houses. Moreover, no focus of disease density was found in the southern part of Rio de Janeiro city over the period studied, possibly due to better socioeconomic conditions. Areas with a high concentration of canine sporotrichosis cases coincided with regions that possessed a low proportion of households without paving, suggesting that the disease is not necessarily linked to extreme poverty. The mapping of areas with a greater density of cases is fundamental to formulate targeted and strategic plans in order to implement effective public health prevention and control measures.
