Blastomyces dermatitidis Antibody and Antigen Detection: Comparison of Four Lysate Antigens and Antibodies Prepared from Human Isolates from a Blastomycosis Outbreak.

Blastomycosis is a systemic fungal disease of humans and other animals produced by the thermally dimorphic fungal organism, Blastomyces dermatitidis. Recent studies have focused on the utilization of antibody and antigen detection in the development of immunoassays for the diagnosis of blastomycosis. This study was designed to evaluate four B.
