Abstract:
Non-lymphatic sporotrichosis is more difficult in diagnosis, lower in incidence and more variable in clinical picture than the classical lymphatic one. A case of non-lymphatic type affecting a female baby aged 2 months is presented, The patient has been suffering from the shallow ulcerated, crusted impetiginous lesian on the cheek area just below the right eye. The lesion has developed progreasively since about 1 month after birth. Clinically, its diagnosis was not easy, but was confirmed by culture on Sabouraud's media. It is thought that the age of initial onset in this case we experienced, is the lowest in recorded Korean literature.
