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.

Blastomyces dermatitidis

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.

The fine structure of the microconidium of blastomyces dermatitidis

Mycopathologia et Mycologia Applicata, 1974
Aspects of the fine structure of the microconidium of the mycelial phase of the dimorphic fungal pathogenBlastomyces dermatitidis as seen by techniques of scanning and transmission electron microscopy are described and illustrated by electron micrographs. The conidia ofB.

Antigens and chemical composition of Blastomyces dermatitidis

Mycopathologia, 1982
‘Without these tools (skin-test and complement fixation antigens for epidemiological, diagnostic, and prognostic use) we are at least 50 years behind in our defining of the disease blastomycosis’ (63). This statement by Rippon et al. emphasizes the need for a well defined antigen or group of antigens from Blastomyces dermatitidis, not only for the two ...

Role of the conidium in dimorphism of Blastomyces dermatitidis

Mycopathologia, 1978
Fine details of yeastlike cell development of Blastomyces dermatitidis from its conidium are described and illustrated by electron micrographs. When cultured in an enriched medium at 37C, conidia of two strains of B. dermatitidis readily underwent ultrastructural changes consistent with mycelial to yeast dimorphism.

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.
