ABSTRACT:
Objective: To conduct an integrative literature review on sporotrichosis, addressing its epidemiological, etiological, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects, with emphasis on its relevance as an emerging and neglected disease of public health importance. Methodology: A literature review was carried out using the PubMed database, employing the descriptors “Sporotrichosis,” “treatment,” and “diagnosis,” combined with the Boolean operator AND. Original articles, retrospective and prospective studies, and systematic reviews available in full text and published in English were included. Results and Discussion: Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis caused by fungi of the genus Sporothrix, mainly transmitted through traumatic inoculation and zoonotic routes, with cats standing out as important reservoirs in Brazil. Sporothrix brasiliensis demonstrates high virulence and is associated with urban outbreaks. The most frequent clinical forms are fixed cutaneous and lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis. Diagnosis is based on the association of clinical and laboratory findings, with fungal culture considered the gold standard. Itraconazole remains the main treatment option. Final Considerations: Early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and integrated surveillance actions are essential for disease control.
