    AbstractCutaneous sporotrichosis is an uncommon infection, usually reported as sporadic cases resulting from inoculation with sharp environmental vegetative matter. We report such a case of multiple primary inoculations acquired from Solenopsis (fire ant) stings in a 54-year-old white man. The patient was treated effectively with itraconazole 200 mg twice a day for 4 months.
