Abstract

Two cases of sporothricosis originating from the same geographical area (Province of Barcelona) are described, including the circumstances of infection and the isolation of a wild strain of Sporothrix schenckii at the same locality. This finding could classify this particular area as a zone of interest in the epidemiological and ecological study of the mediterranean sporothricosis.
