Blastomycosis, a fungal infection caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis, was once thought to be endemic only to the Central and Great Lakes regions of the United States of America. We present the first reported case series of patients documenting the diagnosis of blastomycosis in the Pacific region. In both cases, exposure to endemic areas was retrospectively identified.

Blastomycosis is a chronic systemic fungal infection characteristically affecting the skin and lungs. Involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is unusual, with cases generally presenting with meningitis, and rarely as intracranial mass lesion and solitary or multiple abscesses. Only two cases of intracranial extra-axial blastomycosis have been reported from India, and we report the third case, which presented as meningioma in a 23-year old female.

A 9-year-old female, presented with recurrent bilaterally symmetrically distributed flesh colored vegetative plaques, papules and nodules on trunk and upper and lower extremities since 15 days. Investigations revealed anemia, hypoproteinemia, decreased albumin and positive D-xylose test. Pus swab and biopsy for culture sensitivity showed Enterococci species. Biopsy showed spongiotic psoriasiform dermatitis with subcorneal pustule. She fulfilled criteria for the diagnosis of blastomycosis-like pyoderma viz. presentation of large verrucous plaques with pustules and elevated border, pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia with abscess histologically and growth of one pathogenic bacterium on culture or tissue biopsy. She responded to long-term amoxicillin-clavulanic acid therapy.

É feita uma revisäo sobre a paracoccidioidomicose (PCM) em crianças brasileiras, com a finalidade de definir as principais características clínicas desta micose quando acomete a infância, e de, ao mesmo tempo, mostrar os procedimentos adotados que levaram ao diagnóstico definitivo. Na verdade, todos os esforços devem ser envidados no sentido de uma melhor conceituaçäo clínica da PCM na infância, almejando diagnósticos mais precoces e, conseqüentemente, maiores chances terapêuticas

Apresenta-se um caso extremamente raro da micose de Jorge Lobo em que as lesöes nodulares evoluíam com as características das gomas, sem a compatibilidade histopatológica com esse quadro. As lesöes se dispunham ao longo da rede linfática do braço direito, simulando esporotricose. Um dos autores (DS), aliás já havia descrito essa forma nodular gomosa típica, porém em tais casos, o resultado histopatológico confirmou a estrutura das gomas, com necrose e riqueza de parasitos no interior de macrófagos. No presente caso, a estrutura encontrada era bem diferente, sem necrose

A blastomicose de laringe, a tuberculose de laringe e a laringite sifilítica pertencem ao grupo das laringites específicas, que säo excepcionais na atualidade. Entretanto ainda säo freqüentes em certos países tropicais. Os autores descrevem um caso de blastomicose de laringe e ressaltam a importância da biópsia no diagnóstico preciso da patologia.

Se presentan dos casos de paracoccidioidomicosis o blastomicosis sudamericano, ambos pacientes de sexo masculino, de 22 años de edad, observados en la ciudad de Sucre, pero procedentes de áreas endémicas del país: el primero del departamento de Santa Cruz y el otro del Chaco boliviano (Tarija). Un caso correspondió a la forma ganglionar, cuyo diagnóstico anatomopatológico fue efectuado mediante punción-aspirativa con aguja fina, y tuvo una evolución rápida y fatal, falleciéndo a los 4 días de su internación. El segundo también correspondió a la forma ganglionar, el diagnóstico patológico mediante biopsia de ganglio cervical, recibiendo un tratamiento intenso con Anfotericina B, habiéndo remitido las lesiones, que se ratifican por una segunda biopsia, manteniéndose el tratamiento con sulfametozaxol con trimetropin y ketaconazol. en controles posteriores, se encontró un paciente con hemograma normal y sin manifestaciones clínicas

A Blastomicose Sul-Americana é uma doença rara em mulheres. Alguns autores admitem que isto ocorre provavelmente devivo ao fato delas estarem menos expostas do que os homens aos agentes da natureza. Outros afirmam que se deve à participaçåo de fatores hormonais. Esta raridade aumenta quando a doença incide primária ou secundariamente na regiåo vulvar. É registrado o caso de uma paciente de 22 anos, com blastomicose pulmonar, tegumentar e vulvar
