Abstract
Cats attended at a veterinary clinic in Magallanes, Chile, were screened for Sporothrix brasiliensis in their claws. Five of 140 screened cats were positive, with three of them being symptomatic. Increased awareness of S. brasiliensis circulating in Chile could help take precautions to prevent feline outbreaks and human infection.
