Outlook

Most people who have sporotrichosis only in their skin or lymph nodes make a full recovery.

  • Treating the infection may take several months or years, and scars may remain at the site of the original infection.
  • Infections involving the brain, lungs, joints, or other areas of the body are much more difficult to treat.
