Abstract

Sporothrix schenckii lymphadenitis was identified in a 33 month old male with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). S. schenckii is a dimorphic catalase producing fungus found in the soil of temperate and tropical climates. Host defense against S. schenckii relies primarily on innate and cellular responses and gp91phox-/- mice are susceptible to disseminated infection. This case represents the first report of susceptibility to sporotrichosis in a patient with CGD.
