Overview
Historical Perspective
The first definitive case of sporotrichosis was described by Benjamin Schenck, an American medical student, in Baltimore, Maryland in 1896. Schenck isolated Sporothrix schenckii from lesions manifesting on the right arm and index finger of a 36-year-old male patient. Schenck sent the fungus sample to Dr. Erwin Smith, a mycologist at the United States Department of Agriculture, for further study. Smith determined that the fungus sample belonged to the genus Sporotrichum.[1]
