A case of sporotrichosis in the uterine cervix

Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of sporotrichosis in the uterine cervix caused by Sporothrix schenckii). Methods A case of Sporothrix schenckii in the uterine cervixhad been analyzed. Review of major related literatures at domestic and foreign in recent years was also performed. Results Microscope examination of vaginal secretions showed lumpy, Gram-positive, round-shaped and oval-spores, which were larger than normal Gram-positive coccus and smaller than yeast-like fungal spores. Blood plate culture at 37℃ showed white colony with marginal edges, dry and wrinkled surface. It was not easy to pick up sample from the tough surface. The Gram stain of this white colony showed Gram-positive yeast-like spores. The, filamentous fungus-like colonies with white folds in centerhas been formed at 25℃ in the SDA culture. These characteristics were consistent with clinical laboratory diagnostic features of Sporothrix schenckii infection. Conclusion The cervix infection caused by Sporothrix schenckii was rare, and the characteristics of culturing colonies under different conditions would be helpful to timely diagnosis in the laboratory.
