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

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.

Blastomyces dermatitidis peritonitis complicating peritoneal dialysis

Seminars in Dialysis, 2017
AbstractFungal peritonitis is an uncommon complication in peritoneal dialysis patients. We report a case of blastomyces dermatitis peritonitis in a nonimmunocompromised peritoneal dialysis patient, who initially presented with symptoms of lower extremity weakness and altered mental status.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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.
