Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The global incidence of sporotrichosis is unknown, with significant variation in occurrence rates between countries.
- For example, while the incidence of sporotrichosis is approximately 1-2 per 1,000,000 individuals within the United States, with roughly 200-250 cases reported every year, the incidence of sporotrichosis within the Peruvian highlands is about 1 per 1,000 individuals. [1]
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. [2]
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.
Developed Countries
- The incidence of sporotrichosis is approximately 1-2 per 1,000,000 individuals within the United States, with roughly 200-250 cases reported every year. [1]
Developing Countries
