Suspected Macrolide‐Refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia With Discordant Coccidioides Serology in an Immunocompromised Host: A Case Report

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Suspected macrolide‐refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia can be a diagnostic challenge in immunocompromised hosts, particularly after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Screening serologies may further complicate diagnosis when false‐positive or discordant results divert therapy.

Severe Necrotizing Community‐Acquired Pneumonia and Bilateral Empyema in an Immunocompetent Patient due to Fusobacterium necrophorum

Case Reports in Pulmonology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Necrotizing pneumonia and empyema caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum are uncommon. The classical presentation of Lemierre′s syndrome, characterized by pharyngotonsillitis and internal jugular vein thrombosis, is not always observed, and incomplete and atypical variants can cause diagnostic uncertainty and delay in treatment.

A Cautionary Tale of Exophiala spinifera Infection in Two Cats: Case Reports and Literature Review

Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This case series reports two independent cases of Exophiala spinifera infection in adult male neutered domestic cats, both referred following misdiagnosis. To date, only six cases associated with this organism have been reported in domestic cats, excluding those described herein. These also represent the first documented cases of E. spinifera infection

Admixture in the fungal pathogen Blastomyces

GENETICS
Abstract Blastomyces is an emerging primary fungal pathogen that affects patients worldwide. The evolutionary processes that have resulted in the current diversity in the genus remain largely unexplored. We used whole-genome sequences from 99 Blastomyces isolates, including 2 sequenced in this study using long-read technologies, to infer

Disseminated cutaneous blastomycosis acquired in Mexico: A case report and literature review

Clinical Infection in Practice
Background: Blastomycosis is caused by species of the dimorphic fungus Blastomyces, (B. dermatitidis and B. gilchristi). It is an endemic mycosis that causes a spectrum of disease, most often pulmonary and cutaneous.

Co-infection by dimorphic fungi in tuberculosis patients in Kenya

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2020
Background: Dimorphic fungi may cause infections and symptoms similar to tuberculosis (TB), in humans and animals. Such infections, individually or concurrently with TB, have been identified in cattle in Kenya, raising the possibility of infections in ...

Use of Urine Antigen Testing for Blastomyces in an Integrated Health System

Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews, 2018
Purpose: Blastomycosis, an endemic fungal infection, mimics many other diseases. We explored the use of Blastomyces urine antigen (BuAg), reportedly the most sensitive noninvasive test, in clinical practice and compared it to other noninvasive tests ...

Blastomycosis presenting as solitary nodule: A rare presentation

Indian Journal of Dermatology, 2012
Blastomycosis is a chronic granulomatous and suppurative mycosis, caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis, which in the great majority of cases presents as a primary pulmonary disease. Primary cutaneous blastomycosis is very rare.

Red Fox as Sentinel for Blastomyces dermatitidis, Ontario, Canada

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
Blastomyces dermatitidis, a fungus that can cause fatal infection in humans and other mammals, is not readily recoverable from soil, its environmental reservoir. Because of the red fox’s widespread distribution, susceptibility to B.

Blastomyces dermatitidis With Large Yeast Forms

Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, 2001
Abstract Yeast forms of Blastomyces dermatitidis typically range from 8 to 20 μm in largest diameter. We report a rare case of primary pulmonary blastomycosis with an unusual morphology, in which we found significant numbers of large yeast forms ranging from 30 to 35 μm in ...
