Abstract
A 62-year-old woman had chronic cavitary pulmonary sporotrichosis refractory to medical management over an 8-year period. She was treated with oral itraconazole and had an apparent microbiologic and clinical response; however, the patient succumbed to progressive pulmonary hypertension. The early use of oral itraconazole for treatment of pulmonary sporotrichosis is advocated.
