Blastomycosis in a Papanicolaou Smear. Report of a case with possible venereal transmission.

ABSTRACT

An incidental case of cervical blastomycosis discovered by examination of a Papanicolaou smear is reported. Examinations revealed no other focus of blastomycosis in the patient. Since her husband was undergoing treatment for disseminated blastomycosis involving the lungs and prostate at the time the fungus was found, this case may represent venereally transmitted blastomycosis.
