Primary inoculation blastomycosis in a veterinarian.

W R Graham, J L Callaway.   

Abstract

A veterinarian cut his finger while performing an autopsy on a dog subsequently confirmed to have died of blastomycosis. A typical chancriform complex developed at the site of inoculation. Culture of the lesion grew Blastomyces dermatitidis. Healing of the lesion occurred after 7 months and a course of potassium iodide. This is the first reported case of a canine necropsy accident leading to primary inoculation blastomycosis.
