title: Sporotrichosis in a father and son.
abstract: A 41-year-old man developed classic lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis on the left arm; his 2-year-old son developed a single lesion of the "fixed" type on the right leg. Both patients responded rapidly to therapy with oral potassium iodide. Seven previous reports of familial sporotrichosis are listed, and therapy is reviewed briefly.
