Abstract

A case of laboratory-acquired sporotrichosis is described that was associated with research activities involving isolates of Sporothrix schenckii from the 1988 sporotrichosis epidemic in the USA. Infection occurred in the absence of apparent trauma or other predisposing factors. The possibility that S. schenckii can invade healthy and intact skin is suggested.
