Spontaneous resolution of blastomycosis symptoms caused by B. dermatitidis

Abstract

Given the propensity of blastomycosis to disseminate or reoccur and the inability to predict which infections will experience severe manifestations, nearly all cases of blastomycosis are treated. Although, spontaneous resolution of symptoms is referred to generally in the literature, to our knowledge an individual case of this has not been previously reported. We report the spontaneous resolution of blastomycosis symptoms in a 40 year-old Caucasian male.
