Article Synopsis
- Blastomycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals, often leading to severe complications like pneumonia and respiratory distress if not treated early.
- A case study details a 74-year-old man who, despite being treated with amphotericin B for blastomycosis, succumbed to respiratory complications after 5 days in the hospital.
- The disease's nonspecific symptoms can result in delayed diagnosis, particularly in vulnerable populations, contributing to a higher mortality rate.
