Morphological diagnosis of blastomycosis clinically presenting as mycetoma in a young immunocompetent Indian patient; A diagnostic dilemma

Indian Journal of Dermatology, 2023
Primary cutaneous blastomycosis is very rare in non-endemic regions like India. Only few cases have been reported from India. Herein, we are reporting a rare case of chronic cutaneous blastomycosis in a young immunocompetent male presenting as mycetoma ...

Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis Secondary Infection: A Case Report of <i>Achromobacter</i> spp. Lung Infection. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Both pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and coronavirus disease‐2019 (COVID‐19) are risk factors for chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) and other pulmonary infectious diseases because of residual lung damage. We report a case of Achromobacter spp. infection following CPA in an immunocompetent woman with a history of PTB and COVID‐19.
