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

Cutaneous blastomycosis and dermatophytic pseudomycetoma in a Persian cat from Bangkok, Thailand

Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2017
This is a case report of concurrent of blastomycosis and pseudomycetoma in a 3 year-old Persian cat from Bangkok, Thailand. Histopathology from antemortem and postmortem samples revealed blastomycosis and dermatophyte pseudomycetoma.

Siblings in the ICU: Keeping Endemic Mycoses on the Differential. [PDF]

Case Rep Pediatr
Blastomycosis is a rare fungal infection caused by the inhalation of Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Infection with this fungus can impact nearly every organ system, though pulmonary disease is the most common. Presentations of pulmonary blastomycosis are highly variable, ranging from clinically asymptomatic to severe respiratory failure requiring ...

Prostatic abscess due to blastomycosis

Urology Case Reports, 2022
Blastomycosis is an endemic infection caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis, found primarily in the southeastern, south-central, and Midwest United States. While the majority of infections typically present with pulmonary manifestations, they rarely present
