Opinion Blastomycosis Carol A Kauffman MD Division of Infectious Diseases, 2215 Fuller Road, University of Michigan Medical School Veterans Affairs Ann Arbor Healthcare System, Ann Arbor, MI, 48105, USA Current Treatment Options in Infectious Diseases Opinion statement The treatment of choice for mild to moderate blastomycosis, both pulmonary and extrapulmonary forms, is itraconazole. Severe life-threatening pulmonary or dis-seminated infection should be treated with amphotericin B for a total of 1 to 2 grams or until the patient's condition has stabilized, at which point therapy can be changed to itraconazole. Outline Introduction Opinion statement Introduction Treatment References Blastomycosis is caused by the dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis , which exists as a mold in the environment and as a yeast at body temperature. Although present in diverse geographic areas around the world, most cases occur in North America, primarily in the south-central and north-central areas of the United States. The habitat of the organism has not been completely defined, but several outbreaks have been related to exposure to soil, beaver dams, or rotted wood ]. Most patients with blastomycosis have no underlying illnesses. Patients who are immunosuppressed do not have an increased risk of infection, but they do have more severe disease when infection does occur

General Discussion
Blastomycosis is a rare infectious multisystem disease that is caused by the fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis. The symptoms vary greatly according the affected organ system. It is characterized by fever, chills, cough, and/or difficulty breathing (dyspnea). In the chronic phase of the disease, the lungs and skin are most frequently affected. The genitourinary tract and bones may also be involved.
Symptoms
Blastomycosis is an infectious disease characterized by fever, chills, headaches, chest pain, weight loss, night sweats, cough, and/or difficulty breathing (dyspnea). Some affected individuals do not experience these symptoms although they are actively infected (asymptomatic). Muscle and joint pain may occur during the acute stage which typically lasts less than three weeks. The disease may resolve on its own or persist into the chronic form of the infection. Chronic Blastomycosis, which lasts more than three weeks, may affect the lungs, skin, bones, joints, genitourinary tract, and/or central nervous system.

Pulmonary Blastomycosis With Acute Respiratory Failure as Predominant Clinical Feature RAGHU MUKKAMALA, MD, JAY B. MEHTA, MD, JAMES W. MYERS, MD, and CHARLES P. COLE, MD, Johnson City, Tenn
ABSTRACT: Two previously healthy young adults came to our community hospital with rapidly progressive respiratory failure. Investigation confirmed Blastomyces as the responsible etiologic agent. Despite adequate antifungal chemotherapy and intensive supportive care, both patients died, one within 24 hours and the other after 14 days. Overwhelming infection with Blastomyces dermatitidis can cause acute respiratory failure, possibly the adult respiratory distress syndrome, even in immunocompetent hosts. BLASTOMYCOSIS is usually a chronic, slowly progressive infection. Each year approximately four cases of symptomatic blastomycosis infection requiring treatment with antifungal drugs occur per 100,000 population in areas of the United States where the disease is endemic.1 The literature has few reports of acute progressive forms of blastomycosis. We describe two patients who came to our community hospital with acute respiratory failure, possibly with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by blastomycosis. CASE REPORTS Initial laboratory values were white blood cell (WBC)count of 20,000/mm3 with 46% band forms, 35% neutrophils, and 20% lymphocytes; hemoglobin 13.7 g/dL; and hematocrit 42.2%. Arterial blood gas values were FIO2 0.21 mm Hg, pH 7.39, PaO2 46 mm Hg, and PaCO2 41 mm Hg. Urinalysis was normal; chest x-ray film showed bilateral diffuse nodular infiltrates with no cavity or effusion (

Other characters Blastomycosis, fungus infection caused by a dimorphic soil-based fungus, Blastomyces dermatitidis which is endemic to the south-eastern region of the United States. Human infection generally occurs by inhalation. Clinical symptoms vary widely. Some patients are asymptomatic, whereas others experience a flu-like syndrome. Occasionally chronic lung disease resembling postprimary tuberculosis is the first indication of infection. In some untreated patients fulminant pneumonia and adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) may lead to death. The chest film typically reveals homogeneous opacities simulating bacterial lobar pneumonia . Upper lobes are involved slightly more than lower lobes. Hilar or mediastinal lymphadenopathy pleural effusions and cavitation are uncommon. Another common radiographic appearance is that of a solitary pulmonary nodule simulating lung cancer The diagnosis may be made by identifying the organism in bronchial secretions but occasionally lung biopsy is necessary. Treatment with ketoconazole may be effective but amphotericin B is usually required in disseminated disease.

Other characters North american blastomycosis, a fungal disease caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis , occurring most frequently in the United States in the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys and in the Middle Atlantic states. Another species of Blastomyces ( B. brasiliensis ) causes South American blastomycosis Usual sites of entry of the organisms are the skin and respiratory tract. Abscesses may develop beneath the epidermis and within the lung and are surrounded by a granulomatous reaction. Infection may subsequently spread to other viscera, lymph nodes and bones. In North American blastomycosis, one or several bones can be affected; most commonly, the vertebrae, ribs, tibia, carpus and tarsus are involved. On radiographs the findings of blastomycotic osteomyelitis are not specific. Patients may have osteolytic lesions associated with periostitis, cortical erosions and soft tissue or joint involvement. Involvement of joints is usually related to extension from an affected bone, although in rare cases joint destruction occurs in the absence of bone disease.

Blastomycosis
Blastomycosis is a rare fungal infection caused by inhaling a fungus ( Blastomyces dermatitidis ), which is found in wood and soil. Blastomycosis occurs most often in people living in the south-central and Midwestern US and Canada. Exposure to soil is the key risk factor. The disease usually affects people with compromised immune systems, such as people with HIV or organ transplant recipients. Men are more likely to be affected than women. Lung infection may produce no symptoms, but when the infection is widespread, skin lesions or bone lesions may appear and the urogenital system (bladder, kidney, prostate, testes) may be affected. The incidence of blastomycosis is 1-2 out of every 100,000 people in geographic areas where blastomycosis occurs most frequently. It is even less common outside those areas

Blastomycosis
Definition
Blastomycosis is an infection caused by inhaling microscopic particles (spores) produced by the fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis . Blastomycosis may be limited to the lungs or also involve the skin and bones. In its most severe form, the infection can spread throughout the body and involve many organ systems (systemic). Description
Blastomycosis is a fungal infection caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis . Although primarily an airborne disease, farmers and gardeners may become infected from contact with spores in the soil through cuts and scrapes. The fungus that causes the disease is found in moist soil and wood in the southeastern United States, the Mississippi River valley, southern Canada, and Central America. Blastomycosis is also called Gilchrist's disease, Chicago disease, or North American blastomycosis. Another South and Central American disease, paracoccidioidomycosis, is sometimes called South American blastomycosis , but despite the similar name, this disease is substantially different from North American blastomycosis. Canine blastomycosis, a common dog disease, is caused by the same fungus that infects humans. However, people do not get this disease from their dogs except only very rarely through dog bites. diabetes mellitus or who are taking drugs that suppress the immune system (immunocompromised) are more likely to develop blastomycosis.

South American blastomycosis
Definition
South American blastomycosis is a potentially fatal, chronic fungus infection that occurs more often in men. The infection may affect different parts of the body, including the lungs or the skin, and may cause ulcers of the mouth, voicebox and nose. Description
South American blastomycosis occurs primarily in Brazil, although cases crop up in Mexico, Central America, or other parts of South America. It affects men between ages 20 and 50 about 10 times more often than women. The disease is far more serious than its North American variant (North American blastomycosis ), which is endemic to the eastern United States, southern Canada, and the midwest. South American blastomycosis is known medically as paracoccidioidal granuloma, or paracoccidioidomycosis. The infection has a very long incubation period (at least five years).
South American blastomycosis is caused by the yeast-like fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis that is acquired by breathing in the spores of the fungus, which is commonly found in old wood and soil. It may appear very similar to
