Abstract

Since the 2013 description of Blastomyces gilchristii, research describing the virulence or clinical outcome of B. gilchristii infection has been lacking. We report molecular evidence of B. gilchristii as an etiologic agent of fatal acute respiratory distress syndrome. B. gilchristii infection was confirmed by PCR and sequence analysis.

摘要

自2013年对gilchristii的描述以来，一直缺乏描述Gilchristii感染的毒力或临床结果的研究。我们报告了B.gilchristii是致命的急性呼吸窘迫综合征的病因的分子证据。通过PCR和序列分析确认gilchristii感染。
