So this is GMS… and it turned out to be #blastomyces 💥!
🦠Broad-based budding
🦠large (8–15 µm)
(vs. C. albicans (4–6 µm) or C. glabrata (1–4 µm))
Isn’t #microbiology beautiful?

CDC Releases Report on Fungal Outbreak at Escanaba Paper Mill! https://t.co/qECngloZF8 via @YouTube CDC Releases Report on Fungal Outbreak at Escanaba Paper Mill! #cdc #blastomycosis #billerudpapermill #Escanaba #washington #fugus #fungalinfection #blastomyces
👆🏼#BDG forma parte de la pared de muchos hongos, incluyendo #Candida, #Pneumocystis y hongos #filamentosos 🚫 No útil para el diagnóstico de hongos #mucorales, #Cryptococcus y #Blastomyces (fase de levadura) 🙅🏼♀️
#Coccidiodomycosis
Clues: Southwest US, outdoors, pneumonia + skin lesions with granuloma
MCQ answer: #spherules (CDC PHIL)
Broad-based budding #blastomyces pilot-wheel #paracoccidiodes are not endemic in Southwest US. Ribbon-like hyphae of #Mucor is seen in ICH
Final day of the #Fungal #pathogen #Genomics 2023 workshop-fantastic student presentations on hypothesis-driven in silico experiments #Alternaria #Fusarium #Aspergillus #Candida #Mucor #Sporothri #Blastomyces #mycotoxins #endophyte #alphafold #virulence @ensembl @yeastgenome
Fungi that cause serious lung infections are now found throughout the US

Fungi without assay-detectable BDG in serum
#Blastomyces
#Cryptococcus
#Zygomyces
Note: BDG detected in CSF of patients with cryptococcal meningitis!
#Inflammatory markers elevated. Negative: #fungi serology (#blastomyces, #histoplasma, #coccidioides), #QuantiFERON, #ANCA, and #HIV screen.
🤔 What next?
broad-based budding yeast consistent with #Blastomyces dermatitidis. Mold at 25-28°C & yeast at 37°C w/characteristic broad-based single budding Endemic/sporadic cases in normal hosts, but as cellular immunity is primary host defense mechanism, reactivation in immunocompromised
Detection of #Blastomyces dermatitidis antigen in urine using a commercially available, quantitative enzyme immunoassay

👉 New data in #FungiDB Release 51: Two #Blastomyces genomes (avirulent B. dermatitidis ER3 &
virulent B. gilchristii SLH14081) were integrated into FungiDB Learn more: https://t.co/kvdhZuB7QD @christina_cuomo @jose_fmg @broadinstitute #blastomycosis #fungi #mycology
Lucas dos Santos Dias, Marcel Wüthrich and colleagues @UWMSTP identify the structural and mechanistic requirements by which a newly discovered #adjuvant, #Blastomyces endoglucanase-2, induces cell mediated #immunity against fungi and viruses.

GMS shows hyphae elements
- Rules out #Blastomyces and #Pichia
- Rules in #Aspergillus and #Verruconis
H&E stain has melanin-containing structures which suggests #phaeohyphomycosis
- Verruconis gallopava

Sputum with hyphae suggests mold!
Note: “pseudohyphae” common in sputum due to Candida colonization
Endemic dimorphic fungi such as #Blastomyces and #Histoplasma are seen as yeasts in tissue and clinical samples
