Abstract

We report a case of lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis in a 76-year-old female successfully treated with oral fluconazole. This case had showed almost complete clinical resolution by 200 mg daily administration of oral fluconazole for 7 weeks and has got no relapse until 18 weeks after the completion of the treatment. We would emphasize good therapeutic effects of fluconazole such as more rapid therapeutic response than the previous reports and no observable side effects.
