Abstract
Blastomycosis occurred in 6 patients in 5 households. In each instance 1 or more dogs living with or near the family developed blastomycosis. Recognition of canine blastomycosis helped in the early diagnosis of human cases. Because dogs and patients were probably infected at the same place, canine blastomycosis may be an important epidemiologic marker, alerting physicians to the possible presence of concomitant blastomycosis in humans.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
