Disseminated blastomycosis presenting with genitourinary abscesses
Urology Case Reports, 2023 A 25 year old male presented with several weeks of fevers and testicular pain. Workup demonstrated scrotal and prostatic abscesses. Fluid from these following surgical drainage revealed Blastomyces dermatitidis. He was treated with 12 months of oral anti-

Direct Tissue PCR and Genotyping for Species Identification in a Case of Laryngeal Blastomycosis
Ear, Nose & Throat Journal, 2023 Otolaryngologic manifestations of infection with Blastomyces species are extremely rare and restricted geographically to recognized endemic regions. Here, we describe a case of laryngeal blastomycosis that presented as slowly progressive dysphonia. While

Molecular Epidemiology of Blastomyces dermatitidis [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2000 The inhalation of conidia of Blastomyces dermatitidis, a fungus found in soil, causes disease in humans and animals. We studied the genetic diversity of this pathogen by extracting DNA yeasts and analyzing them with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based typing system we developed, which used restriction fragment analysis of amplicons from the regions
