Delayed hypersensitivity cross-reactions among Sporothrix species in sporotrichotic patients.
Cutaneous delayed hypersensitivity to antigens prepared from Sporothrix schenckii, S. schenckii var. luriei (atypical S. schenckii), S. curziconia, S. inflata and S. ghanensis was tested in eleven cutaneous sporotrichotic patients. Cross-reactions were observed in various degrees. Five normal controls were not reactive.
