Toxicity of Blastomyces dermatitidis

Mycopathologia et Mycologia Applicata, 1971
Following injections of the insoluble portion of disrupted yeast cells ofBlastomyces dermatitidis animals exhibited a biphasic pyrogenic response, a decrease in total serum proteins, and there was no release of interferon.

Blastomyces dermatitidis Meningoencephalitis in a Dog

Pathologia veterinaria, 1969
Blastomycotic meningoencephalitis in a dog was characterized by granulomas, which occurred most frequently in the gray matter of the cerebrum and the granular layer of the cerebellum, and often centered around vessels. Numerous B. dermatitidis organisms were in the granulomas and leptomeninges.

Studies with Blastomyces Dermatitidis

A.M.A. Archives of Dermatology, 1955
The inhibitory effect of prophenpyridamine (Trimeton) maleate * (1-phenyl-1-[2-pyridyl] - 3-dimethylaminopropane maleate) on the growth of Blastomyces dermatitidis induced us to investigate certain aspects of this phenomenon. In our previous experiments † we noticed a partial inhibition of B.

Extracellular enzymes of Blastomyces dermatitidis

Mycopathologia et Mycologia Applicata, 1969
Blastomyces dermatitidis was investigated for the presence of several extracellular enzymes. This pathogenic fungus was found to produce acid- and alkaline-phosphatases in both liquid and solid media when growing in the yeast phase (37° C), but little or none of these activities was associated with the mycelial phase (25° C). Under the growth and assay

Cholangitis due to Blastomyces dermatitidis

Gastroenterology, 1989
A 70-yr-old woman presented with nonspecific complaints and had findings of a cholestatic liver enzyme pattern and a dilated left intrahepatic ductal system by radiographic imaging. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed multiple irregular flat stones and a fixed filling defect of the left hepatic duct.

Polysaccharides of Blastomyces Dermatitidis

The Journal of Immunology, 1940
Summary and Conclusions Chemical analysis of Blastomyces dermatitidis indicates that this fungus contains at least two distinct polysaccharides. Minute quantities of these polysaccharides fix complement with sera prepared by immunizing rabbits with whole Blastomyces dermatitidis.

Blastomyces (Paracoccidioides) brasiliensis in Africa

Nature, 1964
SINCE the discovery of “South American Blastomycosis” by Adolfo Lutz in 1908, it has been generally accepted that the disease is confined to South America. The few cases reported outside this region are of patients who lived for years in South American countries and probably contracted the “Lutz disease” there1–8.

A case of solitary Blastomyces dermatitidis meningitis

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2011
We present a case of a 35 year-old male with Blastomyces dermatitidis meningitis as the primary presentation of blastomycosis infection, without evidence of involvement outside the CNS at time of discharge. We focus on the magnetic resonance imaging findings, with histopathologic correlation.

2012
Blastomyces dermatitidis is a fungus endemic in the central and eastern United States. It is coendemic with Histoplasma capsulatum in much of the central and southeastern United States, including the Mississippi and Ohio river valleys.
