The median age at baseline was 6\u00a0years. The mean incidence rate was 81.4 cases per 100,000 person\u2010years for the period from 2004 to 2011, and was highest among children ranging in age from 5\u20139\u00a0years. The incidence of lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis and fixed sporotrichosis was 55 and 27 cases per 100,000 person\u2010years, respectively, and the face was the most commonly affected anatomic site. Ninety\u2010six of the 240 patients (40%) reported previous contact with cats, and 46 (19.2%) had a clear history of traumatic inoculation with plant material. The therapeutic response to treatment with potassium iodide was satisfactory.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this retrospective study, we described a high incidence of sporotrichosis in children in the south central highlands of Peru, which increased with age. Lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis was the more common type with an incidence rate twice that of the fixed type. The face was the most commonly affected anatomic site, and infection appeared to be acquired predominantly through contact with cats.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ijd.13643","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,10]],"date-time":"2017-05-10T03:56:41Z","timestamp":1494388601000},"page":"868-872","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Sporotrichosis among children of a hyperendemic area in Peru: an 8\u2010year retrospective study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"56","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0471-6746","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Max C.","family":"Ram\u00edrez Soto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medicine School Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos Lima Peru"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0127924"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/313607"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/345437"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/INF.0b013e31815bf309"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1525-1470.2007.00452.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0213-9251(04)72870-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","first-page":"18","article-title":"[Sporotrichosis in childhood.
