We report four cases of sporotrichosis in a 71-year-old man, a 56-year-old woman, a 68-year-old man, and a 73-year-old man. Using gene analysis in the 68 and 73 year old men, the causative organism was identified as Sporothrix globosa. In the 73-year-old patient, treatment with itraconazole was not very effective, so we switched to potassium iodide, followed by excision of all lesions. Potassium iodide was effective in the other 3 patients.
