Eight cases of sporotrichosis originating from the metropolitan area of Cusco, Peru, and its region are described, including the circumstances of infection and the isolation of Sporothrix schenckii from the lesions. This finding classifies this particular area with high altitude, low temperature and dry weather as an endemic zone of interest in the epidemiological and ecological study of Andean sporotrichosis. Among the eight cases observed, five were of the fixed cutaneous type and three were lymphocutaneous. Six patients were male and two female. Two paediatric cases were also observed. Therapy with potassium iodide was very satisfactory, whereas poor results were obtained with ketoconazole.
