Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
Age
- While patients of all age groups may develop sporotrichosis, the association between age and and occurrence largely depends on region.
- Within developed countries, the incidence of sporotrichosis is highest among adults.
- Conversely, within tropical areas and nations in which the disease is more prevalent, sporotrichosis may be more prevalent in adolescents and children. [1]
Sex
- As a result of increased exposure risk, particularly in developing countries, males are more commonly affected with sporotrichosis than females. The exact ratio between the sexes is unknown.
