# Insect-related sporotrichosis oculoglandular syndrome: A case report

## TL;DR

This paper reports the first case of sporotrichosis oculoglandular syndrome linked to insect transmission, expanding the known ways this fungal disease can spread.

## Contribution

The paper presents the first documented case of insect-related sporotrichosis oculoglandular syndrome.

## Key findings

- A case of sporotrichosis oculoglandular syndrome was traced to insect contact rather than traditional routes.
- This finding expands the understanding of how sporotrichosis can be transmitted to humans.

## Abstract

Sporotrichosis oculoglandular syndrome is an infectious disease caused by the thermodimorphic fungus Sporothrix species. Humans can become accidentally infected through vegetative trauma and contact with cats. However, there are no reported cases of this disease being transmitted by insects. In this report, we present a case of insect-related sporotrichosis oculoglandular syndrome.
