Adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces the duration of sporotrichosis treatment
Our findings suggest that adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly accelerates the healing of fixed cutaneous/lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis. The results also highlight hyperbaric oxygen therapy´s potential to enhance treatment efficacy and reduce the burden of prolonged antifungal therapy. These results support further investigation of this valuable adjunctive treatment in the management of sporotrichosis.
