Abstract: A clinical analysis of 150 cases of cutaneous sporotrichosis is reported, The data indicated that northern part of Jiangsu Province is considered:to be a highly endemic area of sporotrichosis in China. It is suite different from previous reports that the incidence of the disease is not rare in children, women and the aged.Besides the extremities the disease is also frequently seen on the face, The incidence of localized cutaneous sporotrich-osis is increasing; it seems to be related to the changes of immunity in population. The clinical manifestation of the disease rany greatly,so it may be easily misdiaguosed. The authors compared the positive rate of direc mycological examinatibn, mycology cultivation and histopatliological exmination. The result showed that the positive rate of myolcogy cultivation was the highest(92.62%),so the authors consider that mycology cultivation is the best available examination for the diagnosis of sporotrichosis.
