Sporotrichosis is a subacute to chronic fungal infection that primarily affects the skin and subcutaneous tissue. This fungal disease usually affects healthy individuals, often working in agriculture or with plants or plant materials. It can cause disseminated disease and high mortality in immunocompromised people such as people with advanced HIV disease. The aim of the course is to provide information on the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment for sporotrichosis.
- Characterise the geographical distribution of sporotrichosis.
- Identify common clinical presentations of sporotrichosis.
- Outline different laboratory techniques to identify fungi that cause sporotrichosis.
- Recall treatment and non-pharmacological interventions for sporotrichosis.
- Recognize the impact stigma has to the social well-being of patients with sporotrichosis.
- Describe the public health interventions used to limit the transmission of sporotrichosis.
- Indicate how different countries are addressing sporotrichosis in their regions.
