Clin Infect Dis. 2002 May 15;34(10):E44-9. doi: 10.1086/339957. Epub 2002 Apr 17.

Abstract

Cutaneous inoculation blastomycosis is a rare illness. We report a case of cutaneous inoculation blastomycosis in a patient who was inoculated after being struck by a projectile while performing yard work. We also review cases of cutaneous inoculation blastomycosis described elsewhere, to improve characterization of the syndrome.
