AB Blastomycosis  is  a  granulomatous  fungal  infection  most  commonly  caused  by  Blastomyces  dermatitidis.  A  second  species,  Blastomyces  gilchristii,  has  been  recently  identified  from  regions  in  Ontario,  Wisconsin,  and  Minnesota  known  to  be  hyperendemic  for  blastomycosis.  Blastomycosis  is  rare  in  children,  and  the  infection  is  often  difficult  to  detect  unless  considered  in  the  differential  diagnosis.
