Splenic Abscess Caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis

Southern Medical Journal, 1986
We have reported a case of fungal splenic abscess caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis. Splenic abscess is an uncommon disorder, and fungus as the causative organism is rare. The diagnosis of splenic abscess can be rapidly made with radionuclide and CT scanning and ultrasonography.

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.

Skeletal Muscle Abscess Caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2009
Muscle involvement is an extremely rare manifestation of blastomycosis. We, therefore, report a case of a large gluteal muscle abscess caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis in a young, immunocompetent male. In addition, we review the literature to further characterize the syndrome of skeletal muscle blastomycosis.

Extrapulmonary Thoracic Disease Caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis

Chest, 1994
A case of blastomycosis is reported involving the mediastinum and compromising the plexus brachialis. The pathology, pathophysiology, and treatment of this patient and of a previously reported patient are discussed and compared with the characteristics of extrapulmonary thoracic disease caused by histoplasmosis.

Virulence of Blastomyces dermatitidis

1992
Virulence of disease-producing organisms is generally defined as the ability to produce a rapid course of infection or disease. Therefore, virulence of an organism can be considered to be its degree of disease-producing capacity.

Blastomyces dermatitidis and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis

1994
Blastomycosis is a systemic fungal infection caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis. The manifestations range from self-limited infections, focal cutaneous or pulmonary lesions, destructive foci in various organs to rapidly progressive and fatal infection.1 The vast majority of blastomycosis cases begin from a pulmonary portal of entry2,3 although a few ...
