ABSTRACT

Os autores relatam o caso de um homem de 49 anos, com quadro de síndrome consumptiva e múltiplas cavitações pulmonares há cinco anos. Foi tratado para tuberculose, em duas ocasiões, sem melhora da sintomatologia. O paciente foi internado com quadro de dispnéia em repouso e febre, sendo sua cultura de escarro positiva para Sporothrix schenckii. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma forma rara de esporotricose e ressaltar a importância de seu reconhecimento.


A 49 year-old white man was admitted with dyspnea, cough and fever, with a history of consumptive syndrome and pulmonary cavitary disease for the past five years. He was treated twice for pulmonary tuberculosis previously, but without responses. His sputum culture was positive for Sporothrix schenckii. The ocurrence of sporotrichosis as a disease of the lung without cutaneos involvement is rare. So the subject of this report is to describe a case of pulmonary sporotrichosis and show the importance of its recognition.
