ABSTRACT
Sporotrichosis, a mycosis resulting from cutaneous or subcutaneous infection with the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix, has been reported in China, particularly in the northeast region. In this review, we conducted a thorough examination of the recent advancements in sporotrichosis in China, encompassing aspects such as etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment strategies. Within the Chinese context, fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis represents the prevailing clinical manifestation. Fungal culture stands as the gold standard for diagnosing sporotrichosis, while polymerase chain reaction techniques can enhance both the specificity and sensitivity of diagnosis. Besides conventional systemic antifungal agents, alternative modalities such as Chinese herbal medicines, photodynamic therapy and laser therapy show potential efficacy against sporotrichosis.
Sporotrichosis is a fungal infection on the skin. It is caused by a group of fungi called Sporothrix. Common symptoms are lesions on the skin, inflammatory papules, nodules and ulcers. These fungi live in the natural environment and cause infection by entering the body through a wound in the skin. China has a high prevalence of sporotrichosis, with northeast China the most seriously affected region. This review looks at the state of sporotrichosis in China.
