is an endemic fungal pathogen found in regions of North America. It is endemic in the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys, New York, Wisconsin, Colorado, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, and other regions of the United States. It is common in Canada, mainly Ontario and Manitoba. Here, we report a case of tracheal and pulmonary blastomycosis. Interestingly, this case presented as an unexpected diagnosis as part of a malignancy workup. To our knowledge, this is only the second case of tracheal blastomycosis reported in the literature.
是一种在北美地区发现的地方性真菌病原体。它在美国俄亥俄州和密西西比河流域、纽约、威斯康星州、科罗拉多州、得克萨斯州、堪萨斯州、内布拉斯加州及其他地区呈地方性流行。在加拿大也很常见,主要集中在安大略省和曼尼托巴省。在此,我们报告一例气管及肺部芽生菌病病例。有趣的是,该病例是在恶性肿瘤检查过程中意外诊断出来的。据我们所知,这是文献中报道的第二例气管芽生菌病病例。
