Blastomycosis is a disease caused by parasitic fungi of the genus Blastomyccs. These fungi infect the skin (forming warty sores and tumors on the face, neck, arms, and legs) or various organs (eg, lungs, bones, liver, spleen, lymphatic vessels). There are two main forms of this disease: North American blastomycosis (Gilchrist's disease), caused by the fungi B. dcrmatitidis, and South American blastomycosis (Gilchrist's disease), caused by the fungi B. brasiliensis. Both types of disease are treated with antifungal medications (such as amphotericin).
