A yeast-like fungus isolated from a granulomatous and ulcerative skin lesion in a mongrel cat was mycologically examined. The isolate was identified as Sporothrix schenckii from the morphological findings and its pathogenicity in a mouse, confirming the first case of feline sporotrichosis in Japan. Fortunately, no transmission to humans occurred in this case, however the risk of humans contracting Sporothrix schenckii infection increases with the increase in the number of animals with sporotrichosis. Consequently when handling such animals protective clothing such as gloves should be worn to reduce the risk of transmission of the fungus through open wounds.
从一只杂种猫的肉芽肿性溃疡性皮肤病变中分离出一种酵母样真菌，并进行了真菌学检查。根据形态学发现及其在小鼠中的致病性，该分离株被鉴定为申克孢子丝菌，证实了日本首例猫孢子丝菌病。幸运的是，该病例中没有发生人传人情况，然而，随着孢子丝菌病动物数量的增加，人类感染申克孢子丝菌的风险也会增加。因此，在处理此类动物时，应穿戴手套等防护服，以降低真菌通过开放性伤口传播的风险。
