Abstract

Blastomycosis is an infection caused by the dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis. Infection can disseminate to skin, where characteristic ulcerative and verrucous plaques, sometimes studded with pustules, are typically seen. Herein we report 3 patients, two children and one adult, with pustular blastomycosis. Their cutaneous lesions exhibited a pustular morphology at the onset and throughout the course of their illness, without evolution to more typical verrucous or ulcerative plaques. These patients all resided in Memphis, TN, the site of previous case reports of pustular blastomycosis.

摘要

芽生菌病是由双相真菌皮炎芽生菌引起的一种感染。感染可播散至皮肤，在皮肤处通常可见特征性的溃疡性和疣状斑块，有时还布满脓疱。在此，我们报告3例脓疱型芽生菌病患者，其中2例为儿童，1例为成人。他们的皮肤损害在发病时及整个病程中均表现为脓疱形态，未演变为更典型的疣状或溃疡性斑块。这些患者均居住在田纳西州孟菲斯市，此前曾有脓疱型芽生菌病的病例报告。
