Data were derived from patients treated at the Infectious Diseases service of Cassiano Ant\u00f4nio Moraes University Hospital in Vit\u00f3ria, the state capital, from July 1982 to June 2012. A total of 171 patients were diagnosed with sporotrichosis, mostly men (80.7%) with a median age of 33 years and 5 months. We can presume an approximate average incidence rate of 4.9 cases per 100,000 inhabitants during the studied period. All the patients were involved in occupational or leisure activities with direct contact with soil or plants. Most cases were recorded in the mountainous region of the state during the hot and rainy periods. The average time elapsed from lesion progression to diagnosis was 3 months, with the lymphocutaneous form being the most common (70.2%), followed by the fixed cutaneous form (28.6%). Diagnosis was confirmed in 93.6% of the cases by culturing\n                    <jats:italic>Sporothrix<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. in Sabouraud dextrose agar, and from the clinical features in the remaining cases. Aspiration of cutaneous nodule secretions was the best method for the collection of clinical specimens for disease diagnosis. A 25% saturated solution of potassium iodide (SSKI) was provided to almost all patients (98.8%), with therapeutic success. In conclusion, in this retrospective study in the state of Esp\u00edrito Santo, we found that sporotrichosis affects primarily the \u2265 10-year-old population, and the most common presentation is the lymphocutaneous form affecting the lower and upper limbs, and the infection appeared to be acquired predominantly through occupational activities. Treatment with SSKI was safe and effective.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.18-0667","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,27]],"date-time":"2018-12-27T02:00:55Z","timestamp":1545876055000},"page":"706-713","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Epidemiological and Clinical Aspects of Sporotrichosis in Esp\u00edrito Santo State, Southeast Brazil: A Study of Three Decades (1982\u20132012)"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"Antonio L.
