Canine otitis externa caused by the fungus Sporothrix schenkii.

Introduction Sporotrichosis is usually a chronic granulomatous cutaneolymphatic infection of man and animals caused by the fungus Sporothrix schenkii. The most common route of infection is through a skin wound, from which focus the fungus may spread subcutaneously via the lymphatic vessels. Dissemination to the internal organs is rare but has been reported in the dog (1). Lindley (2) reported a subcutaneous growth on the leg of a dog caused by S. schenkii. Londero et al (3) and Scott et al (4) also reported cases of dogs with multiple skin lesions on the head and body caused by the same fungus. The present example is unusual in that the infection presented is a case of otitis externa chronica.
