ResumoA 37-year-old salesman who developed a soft nodular infiltration in the upper lobe of his right lung was found to have pulmonary infection caused by Sporothrix schenckii. This disease responded promptly to orally administered potassium iodide. The disease was presumed to have been caused by aspirated spores arising from a sphagnum moss worm bed.
