Résumé |
The fixed cutaneous type of sporotrichosis is difficult to diagnose because clinical lesions are variable in appearance and the cells of Sporothrix schenckii are usually scarce in skin biopsy specimens.

Subsequent skin biopsies from these lesions demonstrated an unusually large number of yeast cells.
