Probable pulmonary Blastomyomycocis in an immunocompetent person.

Dan Zhu1, Hui Chen1, Long Yu2.   

Abstract

The current case report presents a 29-year old man who worked as a hotel guard in a city in China. The patient had fever and dry cough before and after hospitalization. Chest X-ray and CT revealed nodular and patchy lesions in both lower lungs. There were no abnormal findings in the examination of sputum and bronchoalveoular lavage fluid (BALF). He was diagnosed with pulmonary blastomycosis by histological examination of lung biopsy and treated with fluconazole. Follow-up chest CT examination demonstrated that the patient was recovered through appropriate antifungal treatment.
