Lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/768312788
This is the most common type of sporotrichosis and follows implantation of Sporothrix schenckii spores into a cutaneous wound, most commonly on the upper extremity. In addition to a localised nodule or pustule, a chain of nodules develops along draining lymphatics. In longstanding cases regional lymph nodes may become involved.
