W Houh, Sze Ryn Chung, Byung In Ro

Abstract

We describe three cases of sporotrichosis which were successfully treated with itraconazole 100mg daily. Itraconazole was effective and well tolerated in one patient with lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis who discontinued potassium iodide therapy because of side-effects and in two patients with fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis.
