ABSTRACT
Sporotrichosis is the most common deep mycosis in Latin America. The zoonotic transmission from cats has been demonstrated over the last few decades in many countries. A forty year-old veterinarian examined a cat with multiple ulcerations, which mycological examination isolated Sporothrix schenckii. During the examination, she was bitten in the right index finger by the animal. Two weeks later, an inflammatory lesion appeared, which became ulcerated and was followed by ascendant lymphangitis. The diagnoses of lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis and of a six weeks pregnancy were established. The lesions were not treated and by the 28th week the ulceration healed and the abscesses showed involution. This case illustrates that non-life-threatening forms of sporotrichosis during pregnancy could be treated with systemic antifungals after delivery.
RESUMO
Esporotricose é a micose profunda mais comum na América Latina. Sua transmissão zoonótica a partir de gatos foi documentada nos últimos anos em vários países. Médica veterinária foi mordida por um gato, que apresentava múltiplas ulcerações, das quais foi isolado Sporothrix schenckii . Duas semanas depois surgiu lesão inflamatória e após uma ulceração no dedo mordido, seguida de linfangite ascendente. Esporotricose linfocutânea e de gravidez foram então diagnosticados. As lesões não foram tratadas e na 28ª semana de gravidez a ulceração cicatrizou e os abcessos sofreram involução. Esse caso demonstra que formas menos graves de esporotricose poderiam ser tratadas com antifúngicos sistêmicos depois do parto.
