North American Blastomycosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
North American blastomycosis is an infection caused by a fungus that lives in the soil and organic matter of certain regions, and that enters the body mainly by inhaling its spores.
How it can present: It frequently affects the lungs, with cough, fever, chest pain, and fatigue, and at times it spreads to the skin, forming lesions or ulcers with a characteristic appearance.
When to see a doctor: It is worth getting evaluated in the case of prolonged respiratory symptoms or skin lesions that do not heal, especially with a history of exposure in areas where the fungus lives.
Which specialists treat it? The infectious disease specialist studies fungal infections, and the dermatologist takes part when there is skin involvement. A timely evaluation makes it easier to identify the source of the discomfort and follow up on the case appropriately.
