| Classification of sporotrichosis | |||||
| Fixed cutaneous | Lymphocutaneous | ||||
| 14 (100%) | 22 (100%) | ||||
| Lesion location | Upper limbs | 7 (50%) | 20 (91%)* | ||

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).
