Abstract

Sporotrichosis is a fungal infection caused by Sporothrix schenckii, a dimorphic fungus. Transmission of this infection is usually through contact with infected soil, decaying vegetation and plants as well as zoonotic inoculation such as cat scratches. We present an uncommon case of lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis accompanied by reactive arthritis in a 51-year-old woman due to a cat scratch in Malaysia.
