Clinical Information for Blastomycosis (B40)

Blastomycosis - A fungal infection that may appear in two forms: 1, a primary lesion characterized by the formation of a small cutaneous nodule and small nodules along the lymphatics that may heal within several months; and 2, chronic granulomatous lesions characterized by thick crusts, warty growths, and unusual vascularity and infection in the middle or upper lobes of the lung.

Lobomycosis - A chronic, fungal, subcutaneous infection endemic in rural regions in South America and Central America. The causal organism is Lacazia labol.

Paracoccidioidomycosis - A mycosis affecting the skin, mucous membranes, lymph nodes, and internal organs. It is caused most often by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. It is also called paracoccidioidal granuloma.
