Two cases of cutaneous sporotrichosis, especially one of which was verrucous type in baby aged 4 months, were described. Throush the literatures the verrucous manifestation in baby was not yet reported. It is known that verrucous sporotrichosis is to be developed in individual who has had local and general resistance obtained by the previous cutaneous infection or by the infection of internal organ. But no such evidences were noticed in our case.

Sporotrichosis is regarded as the most common subcutaneous fungal mycosis, which occurs following traumatic inoculation of Sporothrix schenckii complex. Albeit rare, sporotrichosis, also known as 'rose gardener's disease', has been reported to involve children whereby active or passive transmission through a vector such as domestic animals has been identified as the main culprit. Herein, we report sporotrichosis in a pair of siblings who presented to the outpatient Otorhinolaryngology clinic in University Malaya Medical Centre with a lower lips skin lesion and submental swelling after kissing their domestic cat. Sporotrichosis was diagnosed following the fungal culture of the skin scrapings of the lower lip’s pustular lesions. Prompt treatment with oral itraconazole (8 mg/kg/day) for six weeks showed the resolution of symptoms. We highlight the pathophysiology of zoonotic sporotrichosis and the mode of management of this entity. Additionally, the management of sporotrichosis should include the veterinarian's assessment of the infected animal.

Sporotrichosis is a mycosis caused by a saprophytic dimorphic fungus named Sporothrix schenckii. Infections occur following traumatic inoculation of fungus from plants and infected cat bites and scratches. We report a case of a farmer who presented with a solitary subcutaneous nodule initially diagnosed as a soft tissue tumour. A history of agricultural activity and feline contact should draw the clinician's attention to sporotrichosis, as the diagnosis can be easily missed in atypical cases. The diagnosis, microbiology and management of the case are discussed.

Summary Sporotrichosis is a rare and chronic granulomatous subcutaneous mycotic infection caused by a dimorphic fungus, Sporothrix schenckii. We describe a patient with disseminated cutaneous sporotrichosis who was later diagnosed with myeloproliferative neoplasm and discuss the challenges and importance in diagnosing this rare condition.

Mucormycosis is a rare invasive fungal infection that chiefly occurs in immunocompromized patients and the outcome is generally fatal. Primary cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare phenotype of mucormycosis, and it usually follows direct inoculation of fungi on damaged skin. Many cutaneous infections mimic sprotrichosis, including virus, bacteria, acid-fast bacilli, fungi and protozoa, yet mucormycosis is very rare. We report on a case of cutaneous mucormycosis that mimicked sporotrichosis in a 77 years old woman.
