👉 Blastomycosis is a fungal infection that typically occurs in the respiratory system, but it can also occur in other parts of the body. It is characterized by the presence of mycelial growth within the lungs and bronchi, leading to inflammation and tissue damage. The pathogenic fungus involved in blastomycosis is Blastomyces dermatitidis. This fungus causes blisters on the skin, which are often painful and may spread to other parts of the body if not treated promptly.
