    Author: Walsh CM, Morris SK, Brophy JC, Hiraki LT, Richardson SE, Allen UD.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2006 Jul; 25(7):656-8. PubMed ID: 16804444.
    Abstract:
    Blastomycosis is an uncommon life-threatening disease caused by the dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis. Estimates of the percentage of cases occurring in children range from 2% to 11%, and it is exceedingly rare in individuals less than 1 year of age. We present the case of an otherwise healthy infant with disseminated blastomycosis acquired in Northern Ontario and a brief review of the pediatric literature.
