Bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of pulmonary blastomycosis
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020 Objectives: Diagnosing pulmonary blastomycosis (PB) requires the detection of Blastomyces dermatitidis in pulmonary secretions or tissue, which can be achieved via bronchoscopic procedures like bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) or brush and transbronchial ...

Blastomycosis in a postpartum dog
Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2014 Transplacental infection with Blastomyces dermatitidis is rare in humans and unknown in the dog. A Doberman pinscher bitch was diagnosed with blastomycosis 25 days after whelping. Clinical signs were noted after whelping and were progressive.

The Schizosaccharomyces pombe Map4 adhesin is a glycoprotein that can be extracted from the cell wall with alkali but not with β-glucanases and requires the C-terminal DIPSY domain for function [PDF]
, 2013 El pdf del artículo es la versión pre-print.In fungi, cell adhesion is required for flocculation, mating and virulence, and it is mediated by covalently bound cell wall proteins termed adhesins. Map4, an adhesin required for mating in Schizosaccharomyces

Human and Canine Pulmonary Blastomycosis, North Carolina, 2001–2002
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 We investigated a cluster of blastomycosis in 8 humans and 4 dogs in a rural North Carolina community. Delayed diagnosis, difficulty isolating Blastomyces dermatitidis in nature, and lack of a sensitive and specific test to assess exposure make outbreaks

Interactions between human granulocytes and Blastomyces dermatitidis [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1979 We studied interactions in vitro between human granulocytes and the yeast-like form of Blastomyces dermatitidis, because granulocytes are prominent in the host response to systemic blastomycosis. In Boyden chamber assays, broth culture filtrates of B. dermatitidis contained levels of granulocyte chemotactic activity that were significantly higher than ...

Ribosomal RNA gene sequencing for early diagnosis of Blastomyces dermatitidis infection
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015 Prompt detection and identification of fungal pathogens at the genus and species level is critical in order to provide timely antifungal therapy. Here, we highlight the vital role of molecular diagnostics in achieving a fast and definitive diagnosis of ...
