Abstract
We report three cases of sporotrichosis successfully treated with oral fluconazole. A verrucous lesion on the toe was cured after 126 days, and a lesion on the left foot resolved after 91 days' treatment. A case of lymphangitic-type sporotrichosis required 174 days of treatment to achieve a cure, and a higher dose (400 mg daily) was necessary in this case. Any side-effects were insignificant. We conclude that this new bis-triazole compound can be successfully used as an alternative treatment for sporotrichosis when conventional drugs must be avoided.
