CsdA‐LaeB Regulatory Hub Contributes to Aspergillus fumigatus Virulence via Fumiquinazoline C Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
This study identifies a conserved CsdA‐LaeB hub in Aspergillus fumigatus that regulates secondary metabolite fumiquinazoline C (FqC). Disrupting this hub enhances FqC production and virulence, shedding new light on the post‐transcriptional regulatory logic linking secondary metabolism to pathogenicity and offering alternative strategies for diagnostic ...

Computed Tomographic Scan Evaluation of Pulmonary Blastomycosis

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2009
BACKGROUND: Blastomycosis is an uncommon granulomatous pulmonary and extrapulmonary infectious disease caused by the thermally dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis. Diagnosis may be delayed or difficult because of varied presentation.

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.

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.

Blastomyces dermatitidis Antigen Detection by Quantitative Enzyme Immunoassay

, 2012
The second-generation MVista Blastomyces antigen enzyme immunoassay was not quantitative; therefore, specimens obtained previously were tested in the same assay as new specimens to assess the change in antigen levels. Furthermore,
