The Geographic Distribution of Dimorphic Mycoses in the United States for the Modern Era

Patrick B. Mazi et al.

Summary: This study found that histoplasmosis occurred in 94% of US states, coccidioidomycosis occurred in 69% of US states, and blastomycosis occurred in 78% of US states. These data suggest expanded geographic distributions of these endemic mycoses.

Risk factors of severe blastomycosis and comparison of diagnosis and outcomes between immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients

Evelyn Villacorta Cari et al.

Summary: Pulmonary multilobar disease, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and immunosuppression were identified as significant risk factors for severe blastomycosis. Immunocompromised patients required more frequent hospitalizations compared to immunocompetent patients.

Comparison of Indirect Fungal Diagnostic Tests in Patients With Proven Histoplasmosis

Gayathri Krishnan et al.

Summary: Cross-reactivity is common in non-Histoplasma fungal antigen assays in patients with proven histoplasmosis. Clinicians should have knowledge of different clinical presentations and epidemiology of invasive fungal infections and be aware of the limitations of these nonspecific antigen tests.

Current and New Perspectives in the Diagnosis of Blastomycosis and Histoplasmosis

Kathleen A. Linder et al.

Summary: Diagnosing blastomycosis and histoplasmosis can be difficult, but current antigen and antibody detection methods help with rapid diagnosis. Culture and tissue examination have been traditional diagnostic methods for these fungal infections, but antigen detection plays a crucial role in establishing rapid diagnoses, especially in severely ill and immunocompromised patients.

Detection of Blastomyces dermatitidis Antigen in Urine Using a Commercially Available Quantitative Enzyme Immunoassay

Elitza S. Theel et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the performance of Gotham and MiraVista EIAs for detection of Blastomyces dermatitidis galactomannan in urine, showing comparable results between the two methods in clinical application. According to the research, Gotham EIA demonstrated high accuracy in detecting blastomycosis and histoplasmosis, while MiraVista EIA showed some limitations in the detection of histoplasmosis.
