Successful treatment of a disseminated Sporothrix schenckii infection and in vitro analysis for antifungal susceptibility testing.

We report a case of a diabetic patient with localized osteoarticular sporotrichosis followed by widespread dissemination of the infection, which was successfully treated with amphotericin B. In addition, we evaluated the in vitro antifungal activity of 4 agents against both the mycelial and the yeast forms of the isolated fungus.
