Animal pathogenicity test performed in Swiss albino mice with intraperitoneal &amp; foot pad inoculation. In addition an investigation of the ulcerative skin lesion from the domesticated cat was carried out.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> Histopathology examination of tissue sample from the patient and feline lesion revealed granulomatous reaction and a few slender elongated yeast cells consistent with Sporotrichosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by culturing <jats:italic>Sporothrix schenkii<\/jats:italic> and demonstration of thermal dimorphism. Pathogenicity testing in mice lead to orchitis in 12\u201315 days and the organism was re\u2010isolated in pure culture.
