Abstract

The clinical and epidemiologic features of 73 patients with laboratory-confirmed blastomycosis who were identified over an 11-year period in North Central Wisconsin are presented. Pulmonary disease was the sole manifestation in 77% of patients. More than one-half of all patients had symptoms that included fever, cough, weight loss, night sweats, and pleuritic chest pain. Virtually all were previously healthy, and most did not have an outdoor occupation. However, 82% of these patients lived or had visited within 500 m of rivers or associated waterways. The majority experienced the onset of symptoms between December and April. The estimated mean annual incidence rate of infection for Vilas County was 40.4 cases per 100,000 persons, and that for the largest city in the county was 101.3 cases per 100,000 persons. Several areas with an exceptionally high incidence of the infection were observed. We suggest that, in regions where blastomycosis is hyperendemic, clinical disease is most often pulmonary and occurs in immunocompetent individuals and that residence near an ecological focus may be a greater risk factor for acquisition of blastomycosis than is occupation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
