A statistical survey was made of 36 patients with sporotrichosis seen at the Dermatological Clinic of Tokai University Hospital during the years from 1975 to 2001. Females were more often affected. Patients under 10 were more often affected on the face and those from 50 to 80 were more offen affected on the upper extremities. Of the patients, 83.3% were brought to our clinic within a year after the first eruption. Thirty-two patients (88.9%) were treated with oral administration of potassium iodide. The adult average total potassium iodide dose and period for therapy were 100.4±88.0 g and 84.1±49.9 days, respectively. Those of children were 1.78±0.85 g/kg, and 68.5±23.0 days respectivery.
