Blastomycosis is the fungal disease caused by thermally dimorphic fungi in the genus Blastomyces, with B dermatitidis complex causing most cases. It is considered hyperendemic in areas adjacent to the Great Lakes and along the St. Lawrence, Mississippi, and Ohio rivers, but definitive geographic distribution of blastomycoses remains obscure.

AbstractBlastomycosis is a serious fungal disease of humans and other mammals caused by environmentally acquired infection with geographically restricted, thermally dimorphic fungi belonging to the genus Blastomyces. The genetic and geographic diversity of these pathogens is greater than previously appreciated.

Clinics in Dermatology, 2012
Blastomycosis is a systemic mycosis with a high prevalence in the Midwest of the United States. The fungus inhabits soil, and human infection occurs through inhalation. Its asexual phase is called Blastomyces dermatitidis and its sexual phase, Ajellomyces dermatitidis. It is more common in men.

Blastomycosis is an endemic mycosis that occurs predominantly in North America in the north central United States and provinces of Canada, southern states, and those midwestern states that border the Mississippi River basin. It causes acute and chronic pneumonias and disseminated infection with cutaneous lesions as the major extrapulmonary ...

Blastomycosis is the infection caused by the dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis. The fungus was believed to be limited in distribution to North America but is found in Africa and northern South America, too. The exact natural habitat of B. dermatitidis is still uncertain with only rare reported isolation of the fungus from the environment.

Blastomycosis is an endemic mycoses in the central United States caused by a dimorphic fungus, Blastomyces dermatitidis, that exists in nature in mycelial phase and converts to yeast phase at body temperature. The organism may produce epidemics of infection following a point source of infection or sporadic endemic infection.

Blastomycosis is an endemic fungal infection due to Blastomyces dermatitidis that most commonly causes pneumonia; but the organism can disseminate to any organ system, most commonly the skin, bones/joints, and genitourinary tract. Both immunocompetent and immunocompromised persons can be infected, but more severe disease occurs in the immunocompromised.

Blastomycosis is a relatively uncommon disease, even in its endemic region. The clinical course and symptoms are highly variable; patients may be asymptomatic or present with severe, fulminant disease. Antifungal agents are effective against pulmonary and disseminated disease, but relapses and reactivation can occur.

Blastomycosis (North American Blastomycosis)
2021Blastomycosis is caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis that belong to a group of thermally dimorphic fungi that can infect healthy and immunocompromised individuals. Following inhalation of mycelial fragments and spores into the lungs, Blastomyces convert into pathogenic yeast, which facilitates evasion of host immune defenses to cause pneumonia and ...
