ABSTRACT
Twelve culture proven patients of sporotrichosis were seen over a period of 4 1/2 yr in the north-western region of this country. Most of the patients (75%) were from Himachal Pradesh, with slight female preponderance. The right upper limb was commonly (58.3%) involved; gardeners and housewives being the common sufferers. Localised lymphocutaneous variety was the commonest presentation (91.7%), except in one patient, where after initial involvement of the face, the lesion extended to the right upper limb and trunk. All but one patient responded to oral potassium iodide therapy; this patient with mixed infection of Sporothrix schenckii and Cladosporium species, required in addition, amphotericin B therapy.
