Abstract：
Sporotrichosis is a traumatic mycosis affecting the skin or subcutaneous tissues caused by Sporothrix dimorphic fungus. The fungal complex includes several pathogenic species, out of which S. brasiliensis and S. schenckii are predominant in Brazil. In Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) state, the first human and animal cases were reported in 2016 in Corumbá and Ladário cities. Accordingly, we present the first occurrences of feline sporotrichosis detected in the state capital Campo Grande, MS, by the Zoonoses Control Service (ZCS) of the Municipal Public Health Department. The study included four allochthonous cases of feline sporotrichosis originating from Corumbá, MS, attended by the ZCS. All four cats presented classical clinical signs of sporotrichosis, as ulcerative nodular cutaneous lesions. Three slides tested positive by direct microscopy and PCR, followed by Sanger sequencing confirmed Sporothrix brasiliensis in two samples. The initial suspicion and diagnosis of feline sporotrichosis at the ZCS highlights the importance of accurate surveillance of sporotrichosis in non-endemic areas to enhance the capacity to prevent, detect and respond to emerging diseases in Campo Grande.
摘要：
孢子丝菌病是由孢子丝菌双形真菌引起的影响皮肤或皮下组织的创伤性真菌病。真菌复合体包括几种致病物种，其中巴西链球菌和申克链球菌在巴西占主导地位。在南马托格罗索州(MS)，2016年，科伦巴和拉达里奥市报告了首例人类和动物病例。因此，我们介绍了在州首府坎波格兰德发现的首次猫科动物孢子丝菌病，MS,由市公共卫生部门的人畜共患病控制服务（ZCS）。该研究包括四例源自Corumbá的猫孢子丝菌病，MS,参加了ZCS。所有四只猫都表现出孢子丝菌病的经典临床症状，溃疡性结节性皮肤病变。三张幻灯片通过直接显微镜和PCR检测呈阳性，随后通过Sanger测序证实了两个样本中的巴西孢子丝菌。ZCS对猫孢子丝菌病的初步怀疑和诊断突出了在非流行地区准确监测孢子丝菌病以提高预防能力的重要性,在坎波格兰德发现和应对新出现的疾病。
