Article Synopsis
- Orthopaedic surgeons need practical guidance for managing patients with bleeding disorders, which can affect surgical outcomes.

Introduction: Pulmonary blastomycosis is a rare fungal disease with increased prevalence in states such as Wisconsin. Clinical manifestations of blastomycosis may vary from asymptomatic infection to multiorgan, disseminated disease.
Case Presentation: We present 2 pediatric patients with blastomycosis who were initially worked up secondary to cough and fever of suspected bacterial origin, though whose subsequent hospital course was notable for deterioration until antifungal treatment was initiated.
