Opis

Himachal Pradesh, India has been recognized to be endemic for sporotrichosis. We believe that climatic conditions and the agrarian culture of this region provide ideal opportunities for exposure to this fungus.There is much to be learned about the natural history, epidemiology and ecology of S. schenckii. The influence of climatic and other environmental factors on the distribution of S. schenckii in nature is not clear.The present study was planned to determine the clinical pattern of Sporotrichosis in Himachal Pradesh and an attempt was made to isolate S. schenckii from environmental sources to document the source of this fungal infection.
