Sporotrichosis is the most prevalent subcutaneous mycosis in Latin America and is an important zoonosis in expansion throughout all the brazilian territory. Domestic cats are highly susceptible to the disease and play an important role in the spread of the agent to both other animals and humans. , the predominant species in the country, has greater virulence and some isolates also showed resistance to azoles, the class of antifungals of choice for treatment. Because it is a long-duration treatment, of high cost, and oral use, sick animals are often abandoned, which contributes to the spread and permanence of the infection as an important public health problem. Therefore, new therapeutic alternatives or adjuncts to treatment with antifungals may contribute to combating this zoonotic agent. In this work we describe the result of the treatment with laser therapy of eight spp infected cats. Our findings show the efficacy of the laser treatment even in different clinical forms. This technique has the potential to decrease the time length and costs of conventional treatment as well as the improvement of the treatment results.
孢子丝菌病是拉丁美洲最常见的皮下真菌病，并且作为一种重要的人畜共患病正在巴西全境不断蔓延。家猫对该病高度易感，在病原体向其他动物和人类传播中发挥着重要作用。该国的优势菌种具有更强的毒力，一些分离株还对唑类药物（治疗用抗真菌药物的首选类别）表现出耐药性。由于治疗疗程长、成本高且需口服，患病动物常被遗弃，这促使感染作为一个重要的公共卫生问题不断传播并持续存在。因此，新的治疗方法或抗真菌治疗辅助手段可能有助于对抗这种人畜共患病原体。在这项工作中，我们描述了对8只感染 菌种的猫进行激光治疗的结果。我们的研究结果表明，即使对于不同临床类型，激光治疗也有效。该技术有可能缩短传统治疗的时长和成本，并改善治疗效果。
