| blastomycosis: a reminder of kentucky's other fungus. | although not as common as histoplasmosis, the disease caused by blastomyces dermatitidis is also endemic in the commonwealth of kentucky. greater clinical awareness of this systemic mycosis and the newer effective forms of treatment may lessen the significant morbidity and mortality of this potentially serious infection. to illustrate the varied manifestations of this illness, we contrast the presentation of an urban female with blastomycosis and atypical chest radiographic changes to the more c ... | 1992 | 1479260 |
| epidemiologic aspects of blastomycosis, the enigmatic systemic mycosis. | a growing body of epidemiologic information derives from the study of sporadic cases and seven epidemics of blastomycosis, although a complete epidemiologic description of the disease is impeded by the absence of a skin test and difficulty isolating the causative fungus, blastomyces dermatitidis, from nature. most cases occur sporadically in humans and dogs in a worldwide distribution. endemic areas in the united states include southeastern, southcentral, and midwestern states, particularly arka ... | 1986 | 3317597 |
| a laboratory-based surveillance of human blastomycosis in wisconsin between 1973 and 1982. | blastomycosis appears to be prevalent in states around the great lakes. however, its incidence in these states has not been reported. the wisconsin division of health established a laboratory-based surveillance for human blastomycosis in wisconsin to estimate disease incidence and identify endemic areas in the state for the interval 1973 to 1982. certified mycology and pathology laboratories in wisconsin and at two major medical centers in minnesota were surveyed for all laboratory isolates and ... | 1985 | 4050777 |

| isolation of blastomyces dermatitidis from soil. | through the intravenous inoculation of soil suspensions in the tail vein of mice, blastomyces dermatitidis was recovered from a lexington, kentucky, soil sample. the positive specimen was collected in a tobacco-stripping barn. the shed had sheltered a dog that died of blastomycosis 2 years before the sample was collected. | 1961 | 13721936 |
