Blastomycosis Fungal Infection The CDC website describes Blastomycosis as a fungal infection generally from being in contact or breathing spores found in contaminated soil. High risk groups are campers, farmers, hunters and forestry personnel. The fungus infects lung tissue and can also show up as subcutaneous abscesses as well as localized infections in several organs as described in Dr. Bob's All Creature Site Approximately 5% of those infected with Blastomycosis die of the disease. Anti fungal agents Itraconazole, 100-200 mg/d orally, is now the therapy of choice for nonmeningeal disease, with a response rate of over 70%. Amphotericin B is given for treatment failures or cases with central nervous system involvement. For a complete list of other anti fungal agents, click here It's not a pretty disease and if you have Blastomycosis and find progress slow, you may consider a special diet combined with enzymes and a special skin cream to enhance your medical treatment. This diet has been 100 percent effective in the treatment of a very virile subcutaneous fungus that left untreated can run rampant throughout all the major organs in the body.

Muskoka-Parry Sound Health Unit Blastomycosis What is blastomycosis? Blastomycosis is a flu-like illness and is often diagnosed as pneumonia. People who develop blastomycosis in their lungs may experience sudden fever, cough, chest pain, weight loss, shortness of breath and a general feeling of fatigue. Not all of these symptoms have to be present. Generally, blastomycosis starts in the lungs but on some occasions it can spread to the skin. The individual will develop slowly spreading painless red pimples, which can become elevated, crusty or ulcerated. Lesions are usually found on the face and exposed extremities, although mucosal involvement of the nose, mouth or pharynx may occur. On rare occasions, blastomycosis can spread to the bone, prostate, epididymis and other organs. In some cases, the symptoms can go away by themselves. How is it spread? The spore attaches itself to dust and when the dust is stirred up it can be inhaled. Inhalation of this spore produces a yeast infection in the lungs. Direct contact with blastomycosis through an open wound or puncture could produce a skin infection. Transmission of the disease from animal to human is not possible. How is blastomycosis prevented/treated?

Influenza (Flu) Boulder County Public Health 3450 Broadway Boulder, CO 80304 Blastomycosis Facts What is Blastomycosis? Blastomycosis is a fungal infection caused by the fungus Blastomycoses dermatitidis Where is it found? In North America, Blastomycosis is most commonly found in the central and southeastern United States. Blastomycosis extends across northern Wisconsin, northern Minnesota, and into adjacent areas of south-central Canada. Symptoms It is reported that no symptoms occur in at least 50% of infected individuals. However, individuals may develop acute or chronic pulmonary disease, and/or disseminated disease, most commonly affecting the skin, bones, and genitourinary system. Symptoms may be pneumonia-like with fever, chills, sweating, cough, headache, fatigue, muscle aches, chest pain, and weight loss. Because of the tremendous variation in symptoms, blastomycosis is quite often misdiagnosed as some other infection. The incubation period is Indefinite; probably a few weeks to months. Treatment Blastomycosis is almost always acquired by inhaling the fungus. Current evidence suggests that fungal growth occurs in nitrogen-rich soil close to streams, rivers, and lakes. Fungal growth is facilitated by rapidly increasing soil temperatures. Aerosolization of the fungus is facilitated by rain on the day of exposure and by excavation or other disturbance of a site with contaminated soil.

Ways To Help Adam Article Manager Back Back to main Health Information page Disease - Blastomycosis Fungus Definition: Blastomycosis is a rare fungal infection caused by inhaling a fungus (Blastomyces dermatitidis), which is found in wood and soil. Alternative Names: Causes And Risk: 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. Prevention: Avoiding travel to areas where the disorder occurs will prevent exposure, but this is not practical for most people. Although other prevention is unknown, the disorder is rare except in people who are
