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 ...

Skeletal Muscle Abscess Caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2009Muscle 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, 1994A 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.

Transferrin independent serum inhibition of Blastomyces dermatitidis
Microbial Pathogenesis, 2002Human serum has been reported to inhibit the growth of several fungal pathogens. Serum inhibitory activity has predominantly been associated with transferrin-mediated iron binding. We found that serum from several animal species (human, dog, mouse and fetal bovine) inhibited the growth of the dimorphic fungal pathogen, Blastomyces dermatitidisin vitro.

Blastomyces dermatitidis and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
1994Blastomycosis 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 ...

Isolation of Blastomyces dermatitidis from Soil
Science, 1961Through the intravenous inoculation of soil suspensions in the tail vein of mice, Blastomyces dermatitidis was recovered from a Lexington, Kentucky, soil sample. The positive specimen was collected in a tobacco-stripping barn.

Virulence of Blastomyces dermatitidis
1992Virulence 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.

Severe Oculofacial Sequelae of Cutaneous Blastomyces dermatitidis
Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2016This study reports a case of Blastomyces dermatitidis soft tissue infection resulting in a disfiguring lower eyelid ectropion from cicatricial and postinflammatory cutaneous changes. Primary treatment included intravenous amphotericin B followed by long-term oral itraconazole, which resulted in complete remission of the disease without debridement ...
