Prevention Blastomycosis Definition: Blastomycosis is a rare fungal infection caused by inhaling a fungus ( Blastomyces dermatitidis ), which is found in wood and soil. Alternative Names: North American blastomycosis; Gilchrist's disease Causes, incidence, and risk factors: 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.

CANINE BLASTOMYCOSIS What is blastomycosis, and how does an animal get this disease? Blastomycosis is a fungal disease caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis . This fungus most commonly infects humans and animals through the respiratory tract. After spores are inhaled, they settle in the small airways and begin to reproduce. Subsequent to this, the organism spreads throughout the body to involve many organs. Infrequently, infection occurs through inoculation of an open wound. Although researchers in human medicine have been mostly unsuccessful in reliably isolating the organism from the environment, it does appear that both humans and animals become infected from particular environmental sources, probably the soil. In the United States, the disease is most prevalent in the warm, moist environment found in the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys. It is very common in the Southeastern United States. What can I do to rid the environment of the fungal organism? Nothing. The organism is ubiquitous, meaning it lives everywhere. What are the signs of this disease?

Although this infection often heals spontaneously, we present a case of a nonhealing ulcer following surgical drainage of cellulitis. Blastomycosis was diagnosed by histopathological examination and the infection responded well to oral ketoconazole therapy. Introduction Blastomycosis is an uncommon, chronic, granulomatous disease caused by the dimorphic fungus Blastomycetes dermatitidis ]. The spectrum of clinical manifestations of blastomycosis includes acute pulmonary disease, subacute and chronic pulmonary disease, and disseminated extrapulmonary disease. The skin is the most common site for dissemination, followed by bone, genitourinary tract, and central nervous system [ ]. Primary cutaneous blastomycosis is a rare illness [

Select topics written by the veterinarians from Kuenzi Family Pet Hospital BLASTOMYCOSIS By Mike Aushwitz, D.V.M. Blastomycosis refers to a fungal disease caused by Blastomyces Dermatitidis. The organism is acquired most commonly through the respiratory tract by inhalation of fungal spores, though inoculation of an open wound can also lead to infection, but much less commonly. The fungus seems to prefer rich, moist soil, though researchers have great difficulty isolating it from the environment. Wisconsin has many cases of Blastomycosis reported, many from Northern Wisconsin and along major river systems, though any rich, moist soil seemingly can harbor the organism. The Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys and South Eastern United States also have a significant prevalence of the disease. After inhalation, the fungal spores have a morphological change to a yeast organism, which then can disseminate throughout the body. This explains the common systems of Blastomycosis which include Pneumonia, draining skin lesions, enlarged lymph nodes, chorioretinitis (blindness), osteomyelitis (lameness), and meningitis (neck pain, seizures). Most individuals are depressed, not eating, and run a fever.

Latimer, DVM, PhD Class of 2003 (Mordecai), Department of Pathology (Bain, Latimer), College of Veterinary Medicine, The University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602-7388 Epidemiology Blastomycosis, caused by the agent Blastomyces dermatitidis , is a systemic fungal disease that primarily affects dogs and humans, but has also been known to infect cats, sea lions and horses. Blastomyces dermatitidis is a dimorphic soil fungus that is found in the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio River valleys, as well as the mid-Atlantic states and the Canadian provinces of Quebec, Manitoba and Ontario. Its exact ecologic niche has yet to be characterized, but most agree it requires wet, sandy, acidic soils rich in organic matter and in close proximity to water. At room temperature (25°C), the organism is found in the mycelial (hyphal) form and produces conidia, while at body temperature, the organism usually occurs in the yeast form. Infection occurs primarily through inhalation. In the lung, alveolar macrophages phagocytize spores and the organism transforms to the yeast phase. Pulmonary macrophages transport the organism to the pulmonary interstitium. Other routes of infection include skin lesions or penetrating injuries that introduce the organism into the body. Dissemination can occur in patients that are immunosuppressed.

BACK to previous page BLASTOMYCOSIS IN SMALL ANIMALS What is Blastomycosis? Blastomycosis is a fungal disease caused by the organism Blastomycosis dermatitides It is primarily seen infecting dogs, humans and rarely, cats. How does your pet get the infection? Your pet can become infected by inhaling the organism from the soil. It is not known to be transmitted from individual to individual or from animals to humans. Each individual acquires the infection independently and directly from the environment. It is common to see hunting dogs that root and dig in the ground become infected. New house or cottage building or renovations, or soil excavations, may also expose infected soils from deep below the ground which could increase the chance of your pet getting the infection. Where is Blastomycosis found? Blastomycosis can be found in soils extending from the Mississippi-Missouri-Ohio River basin, which reaches up into the Lake of the Woods area. These areas include Sioux Narrow, Dryden, Red Lake, Kenora and surrounding areas. Blastomycosis grows best during warm moist weather and in acidic soils such as occurs in cedar swamps.

Go to full issue: DCN, June 2003: Volume 31, Number 4 Background Blastomycosis is a systemic mycosis caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis, a dimorphic fungus that exists as a mold in the environment and as a pathogenic yeast form in the body. Blastomycosis is endemic in the central and southeastern United States, particularly in the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys and the Great Lakes states. The reservoir is rich, moist soil; transmission occurs through inhalation of aerosolized conidia from contaminated soil. The median incubation period, based on limited outbreak information, is 45 days (range, 21 to 106 days). Most infections are asymptomatic or self-limiting. In clinical cases, acute pulmonary symptoms ranging from mild to fulminant are the most common manifestation; however, the infection may disseminate to the skin, bones, genitourinary system, and central nervous system (CNS). The case fatality rate is approximately five percent nationwide.
