ResumoThe sparsity of published clinical reports of sporotrichosis in the state of New York suggests its relatively low incidence. On the other hand; the wide distribution of the Sporotrichum schenckii fungus in nature and the infrequency with which one encounters case reports on the more abortive or atypical varieties of sporotrichosis suggest that many infections with this fungus may be overlooked. Sporotrichosis was first recognized by Luik 1 in 1809. Not until 1889 was it carefully described, by Schenck. 2 We have found only 26 instances of proved or presumptive sporotrichosis recorded as seen in the state of New York during the past four decades (table). In addition to the previously published 26 clinical reports of proved or presumptive sporotrichosis, observations on 2 recent proved instances of this disease acquired within the metropolitan area of the city of New York are recorded in the table. REPORT OF CASES Case 1.
