Location of lesions [N = 43 (100%)]
Upper limbs Lower limbs Other locations Non-registered

Correlation between lesion location and sporotrichosis form
Classification of sporotrichosis
Fixed cutaneous Lymphocutaneous
14 (100%) 22 (100%)
Lesion location Upper limbs 7 (50%) 20 (91%)*
Lower limbs 5 (36%)* 2 (9%)
Other 2 (14%) 0 (0%)

The * indicates a significant association between the lymphocutaneous form and an upper limb location as well as fixed cutaneous form and lower limb location (Fisher’s exact test, p = 0.019).
