ABSTRACT
59-year-old man visited our clinic due to painful ulcer and crust on the left upper arm 12 months ago. On past history, he had been injured by steel pipe on the left forearm 18 months before. We diagnosed him lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis and treated him with fluconazole 200 mg/day for 11 weeks. He was cured without side effect and had no sign of recurrence during 10 months follow up. We noticed that fluconazole is one of the effective and safe drug in the treatment of sporotrichosis. However, it is necessary to clarify the appropriate dose and duration for treatment of sporotrichosis with fluconazole.
