Blastomycosis is a rare condition affecting specific endemic areas in North America. Blastomycosis is characterized primarily as a pulmonary disease but can disseminate to affect other organ systems. Osteomyelitis due to disseminated blastomycosis is a rare condition with limited functional reconstructive options in a young adult. We present a rare case with prolonged antifungal therapy and staged reconstruction with a total talus prosthesis.
播散性荚膜组织胞浆菌病是一种罕见疾病,主要影响北美的特定流行地区。播散性荚膜组织胞浆菌病的特征主要为肺部疾病,但也可能播散至其他器官系统。由播散性荚膜组织胞浆菌病引起的骨髓炎是一种罕见疾病,在年轻成人中,可供选择的功能性重建方案有限。我们报告了一例罕见病例,该患者接受了延长的抗真菌治疗和分期重建,采用了全距骨假体。
