Abnormal bone and gallium scans in a case of multifocal systemic sporotrichosis.
Sporotrichosis is a chronic infection of world wide distribution. It is caused by the diamorphic fungus Sporotrichum schenkii. The multifocal form of sporotrichosis usually involves skin, joints, long bones, lungs, and lymph nodes. Involvement of central nervous system although described is extremely rare. Bone and gallium imaging findings in a case of multifocal systemic sporotrichosis which nicely demonstrated the extensive spread of the disease are presented.
