1F2J.0 Lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01

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.
