Blastomycosis, usually presenting as pneumonia, is more common in adults than in children. Moreover, cutaneous blastomycosis is quite uncommon in children. We describe a case of cutaneous blastomycosis in an 8-year-old boy who presented with multiple hyperkeratotic verrucous plaques where diagnosis was made on fine-needle aspiration cytology, and the infection responded well to oral itraconazole therapy with reduction in number of spores and size of lesions.
芽生菌病通常表现为肺炎，在成人中比在儿童中更常见。此外，皮肤芽生菌病在儿童中相当罕见。我们描述了一例8岁男孩的皮肤芽生菌病病例，该男孩出现多个角化过度的疣状斑块，通过细针穿刺细胞学检查做出诊断，感染对口服伊曲康唑治疗反应良好，孢子数量减少，病变大小缩小。
