ABSTRACT
Blastomycosis dermatitidis is a rare fungus known for is classic mimicry of pneumonia, lung cancer, and mycobacterial infections. Whilst it is known best for affecting those in the Ohio and Mississippi River basins, several cases have erupted in the Midwest region. Few case reports have focused on blastomycosis and its sequalae in pregnancy. We present a case series of blastomycosis diagnosed during the second and third trimesters in two women amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Given immunosuppression, complications and treatment can be challenging for clinicians. This case series and discussion hopes to provide future clinicians with the presentation, diagnosis, management, and treatment of this uncommon infection.
