“…Despite growing awareness that Blastomyces spp is a relevant pathogen in NYS and sporadic encounters with it even in NYC and its environs [ [3] , [4] , [5] ], to our knowledge this is the first published case of blastomycosis in a SOT recipient from a transplant center located in NYS. Authors from Illinois, an endemic area, have previously reported ARDS in an OLT recipient who, like our patient, was placed on V–V ECMO and did not survive [ 6 ].…”

“…Fungal lung nodules can also cavitate (Fig. 19), appearing initially with central lucency, and ultimately as a thick or thin-walled cavity with or without mural calcification [6,71,74,[76][77][78][79][80]. Lymph nodes are commonly enlarged in the setting of active fungal infection (Fig.…”

Clinically significant endemic mycoses (fungal infections) in the United States (U.S.) include Blastomyces dermatitidis, Histoplasma capsulatum, and Coccidioides immitis/posadasii. While the majority of infections go clinically unnoticed, symptomatic disease can occur in immunocompromised or hospitalized patients, and occasionally in immune-competent individuals. Clinical manifestations vary widely and their diagnosis may require fungal culture, making the rapid diagnosis a challenge. Imaging can be helpful in making a clinical diagnosis prior to laboratory confirmation, as well as assist in characterizing disease extent and severity. In this review, we discuss the three major endemic fungal infections that occur in the U.S., including mycology, epidemiology, clinical presentations, and typical imaging features with an emphasis on the pediatric population.
