Abstract

Sporotrichosis is an implantation or subcutaneous mycosis caused by the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix spp. that infects both humans and animals. Dogs are rarely affected and this microorganism is considered as of low zoonotic potential. The present study reports a case of sporotrichosis in a one year old female Yorkshire Terrier dog, with no history of previous contact with cats. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses performed in the sample, collected by means of the lesion biopsy, revealed a nodular dermatitis with intra-lesion Sporothrix spp. The dog was treated with itraconazole (10 mg/kg/day for 120 days). No additional skin lesions were detected, 11 months after starting the treatment. Currently, sporotrichosis has not been included as a disease requiring the mandatory report. However, it is important to instruct the professionals concerning the zoonotic potential of this disease, and on the clinical features which might be very subtle and similar to those found in the most common skin diseases.
