    Author: Shukla S, Singh S, Jain M, Kumar Singh S, Chander R, Kawatra N.
    Journal: Diagn Cytopathol; 2009 Feb; 37(2):119-21. PubMed ID: 19021202.
    Abstract:
    Blastomycosis, usually presenting as pneumonia, is more common in adults than in children. Moreover, cutaneous blastomycosis is quite uncommon in children. We describe a case of cutaneous blastomycosis in an 8-year-old boy who presented with multiple hyperkeratotic verrucous plaques where diagnosis was made on fine-needle aspiration cytology, and the infection responded well to oral itraconazole therapy with reduction in number of spores and size of lesions.
