Detection of Blastomyces gilchristii via metagenomic sequencing in outbreak-associated soils.
Medical MycologyCases of Blastomycosis, a serious fungal disease globally rare but endemic to North America, can appear both sporadically and in outbreaks. Tracing these outbreaks to their environment has traditionally used culturing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

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

Blastomycosis in Northwestern Ontario, 2004 to 2014
Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2015 Blastomycosis is an invasive fungal disease caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis and the recently discovered Blastomyces gilchristii. The medical charts of 64 patients with confirmed cases of blastomycosis in northwestern Ontario during a 10-year period ...
