Blastomyces dermatitidis is an environmental fungus endemic to parts of Eastern North America that notably causes pulmonary infection in humans and other animals with the potential for extrapulmonary spread, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. However, it rarely presents with genitourinary (GU) tract involvement. Herein, we present a unique case of a 37-year-old immunocompetent male with genitourinary blastomycosis with the initial presentation of a scrotal abscess.
皮炎芽生菌是一种存在于北美东部部分地区的环境真菌,主要引起人类和其他动物的肺部感染,并有潜在的肺部外播散,特别是在免疫功能低下的宿主中。然而,它很少引起泌尿生殖系统(GU)道的受累。在此,我们报告了一例 37 岁免疫功能正常的男性泌尿生殖系统芽生菌病的独特病例,其初始表现为阴囊脓肿。
