“…Progression from fixed cutaneous disease to systemic involvement is uncommon unless the patient becomes immunocompromised, in which case hematogenous dissemination is possible. 5 Sporotrichosis can also induce an immunoreactive state manifesting as erythema nodosum, reactive arthritis, Sweet syndrome, or erythema multiforme. 1 Unlike other deep fungal infections, identification of the organism on histologic examination is notoriously difficult, and tissue culture is the criterion standard.…”

“…In the majority of cases, S. schenckii causes a lymphocutaneous infection [72,73]. Nevertheless, it may potentially present in a fixed cutaneous form [74]. In instances of papulonodular eruptions, it may be mistaken for acne.…”

Acne-like Eruptions: Disease Features and Differential Diagnosis

The term “acne-like eruptions” encompasses a variety of skin conditions resembling acne vulgaris. While both acne-like dermatoses and true acne are frequently observed in clinical settings, differentiating between the two might be challenging. Similar to acne, the lesions of acne-like eruptions may exhibit papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. However, contrary to acne, comedones are uncommon but may still be observed in certain types of acne-like eruptions. Moreover, acne-like eruptions can be differentiated from acne based on their sudden onset, the propensity to occur across all age groups, the monomorphic appearance of lesions, and the distributions extending outside the seborrheic regions. The development of acne-like eruptions cannot be attributed to a single underlying mechanism; nevertheless, various factors such as patient age, infections, occupation, habits, cosmetics, and medications may be involved. The observed lesions may not respond to standard acne therapy, necessitating that treatment strategies are tailored in accordance with the identified causative agents. The following review aims to outline distinct entities of acne-like eruptions and present features that set them apart from true acne. Acne-like eruptions in the adult population, infectious diseases resembling acne, and acne-like eruptions resulting from exposure to chemical and physical agents are addressed in this paper. An understanding of the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and epidemiology of this group of dermatoses is pivotal for a precise diagnosis and provision of appropriate care.

“…Some studies believe that differences in morbidity may be related to the virulence of Sporothrix spp. 5 The adaptive immune response mediates the imbalance of a Th1/Th17based immune response after Sporothrix inoculation. 22 Compared with the lymphocutaneous type, the fixed type with mild inflammatory infiltrates shows a more balanced immune response.…”

“…The fungus survives in the natural environment, such as in soil, dead wood, moss, hay and corn stalks, and animal manure. 2,5 The fungus has also been isolated from aquatic animals like fishes and dolphins; thus, their primary ecological habitat remains unclear. 6,7 Currently, S. globosa accounts for the most of Sporothrix spp.…”

This study was aimed to examine the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of sporotrichosis in China and specifically Jilin Province, which is one of the areas with the highest incidence worldwide, and to provide data support for the global prevalence of sporotrichosis. Methods: A total of 4969 cases of sporotrichosis diagnosed at the Second Hospital of Jilin University from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 2019 were collected. Results: In Jilin Province, the male-to-female ratio was 1:2, the average age at onset was 48 ± 1 years, and the average disease duration was 4.8 ± 2.7 months. The most susceptible individuals were farmers. Cases occurred more commonly in the winter and spring (71.5%) than in the summer and autumn (28.5%). The fixed type infection was more prevalent. Among the cases, 64.8% showed typical mycological changes, and 77.6% showed atypical pathological changes. Regarding the epidemiological characteristics of sporotrichosis in China, 6565 cases were retrieved from the literature from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019. Among them, the most affected area was Jilin Province, followed by Heilongjiang Province, and Liaoning Province. The male-to-female ratio was 1:1.46. The fixed type infection was the most common. A total of 241 strains were identified by molecular biotechnology; among these, 217 were identified as Sporothrix globosa and 24 were identified as S. schenckii sensu stricto. Discussion: The results add clarity to the clinical epidemiology of sporotrichosis in China and specifically Jilin Province. We believe these data will help improve the epidemiology knowledge of sporotrichosis worldwide.
