Abstract

Through the efforts of Drs. James Nevins Hyde and Frank Hugh Montgomery and other observers, cutaneous blastomycosis is now generally recognized as an entity. The number of reported cases of systemic blastomycosis being few, it seems justifiable to report more or less fully new cases as they occur, so that by a study of the entire group it will be possible definitely to place the disorder in its proper position in medicine. There are now on record four cases of systemic blastomycosis, in which the causative organism appears identical. These were recorded by Busse and Buschke,¹Montgomery and Walker,²Ormsby and Miller³and Cleary.⁴Three of the cases were in Chicago, and two of these occurred in the practice of Drs. Hyde and Montgomery. Another case which closely conforms, and which by some observers is classed here, was that reported by Ophüls and Moffitt⁵of
