Sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous infection caused by Candida parapsilosis: A case report and literature review.

Sporotrichoid distribution is classically associated with Sporothrix schenckii, yet Candida parapsilosis remains an exceedingly rare cause. We report a primary cutaneous C. parapsilosis infection presenting with lymphocutaneous spread. The patient achieved significant clinical improvement following oral fluconazole. This case expands the recognized clinical spectrum of C. parapsilosis and underscores the necessity of fungal culture in the differential diagnosis of sporotrichoid spreading lesions to ensure prompt, targeted antifungal therapy.
