title: Itraconazole in the treatment of sporotrichosis: a Korean experience.
abstract: We describe three cases of sporotrichosis which were successfully treated with itraconazole 100mg daily. Itraconazole was effective and well tolerated in one patient with lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis who discontinued potassium iodide therapy because of side-effects and in two patients with fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis.
