Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Sporotrichosis is commonly referred as rose gardener’s disease, which is caused by the infection of the fungus referred as Sporothrix schenckii. The infection caused by this disease generally affects the skin and in the rare cases, it may also affect the lungs, bones, joints, and brain. The roses may spread the disease and hence it is one of the reasons it is known as a rose thorn or rose gardener’s disease.
