56
Q

Disease most likely seen in rose handlers or those in contact with moss

A

Sporotrichosis

57
Q

Pathogenesis of Sporotrichosis

A
  1. Spores bind to extracell matrix
  2. Local multiplication
  3. Mixed pyogenic & granulomatous inflammation

*lesions are granulomas surrounded by PMNs, histiocytes, giant cells, lymphocytes, plasma cells

58
Q

Clincial finding is sporotrichosis

A
  • PRIMARY LESION
    • Painless papule evoled into pustule, then ulcerates
    • Minimal constitutional symptoms
  • SECONDARY LESION
    • ​spread up lymphatics proximally
    • suppurative, can caused lymphadenopathy
