==Overview==
Common physical examination findings of cutaneous sporotrichosis include painless pink to purple [[nodular lesions]] or [[erythematous]] [[plaque]] on the skin, which may begin to grow, ulcerate, and drain. These [[Lesion|lesions]] characteristically manifest on upper extremities. Non-cutaneous forms of sporotrichosis are not generally associated with distinctive physical findings.

Overview

Common physical examination findings of cutaneous sporotrichosis include painless pink to purple nodular lesions or erythematous plaque on the skin, which may begin to grow, ulcerate, and drain. These lesions characteristically manifest on upper extremities. Non-cutaneous forms of sporotrichosis are not generally associated with distinctive physical findings.

Vital Signs

  • Patients with cutaneous forms of sporotrichosis typically present normal with vital signs.

Skin

Cutaneous:

  • Older distal lesions will likely ulcerate and ooze, while proximal lesions manifest as nodules and undergo the same cycle. 

Disseminated Cutaneous:

Lungs
