What happens during the disease - lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis
Lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis is caused by the fungus sporothrix schenckii, which is typically acquired through contact with contaminated soil, plants, or animal material. infection occurs when the fungus enters the skin through a cut, abrasion, or insect bite. the fungus then spreads through the lymphatic system, causing nodules to form along the lymphatic vessels. these nodules can burst and form ulcers, which can spread to other parts of the body. if left untreated, the infection can spread to the lungs, bones, and other organs.
