“…These lesions are usually tender, may be confused with panniculitis, and are often associated with joint pain. 39 Aspiration of the subcutaneous mass or biopsy will reveal organisms on microscopy and culture. Osteomyelitis due to B. dermatitidis may be the reason the patient seeks medical attention.…”

Blastomycosis is a rare but important fungal infection diagnosed primarily in the south central and midwestern United States but also in the American and Canadian borders of the Great Lakes. Epidemics of infection related to point-source exposure include patients of all ages and both sexes, but endemic cases are usually in young to middle-aged adults, with more men than women reported. Pneumonia is the most common manifestation and the lung is almost always the organ initially infected. The lung manifestations range from illness that mimics acute bacterial pneumonia to chronic, destructive lung disease appearing like tuberculosis or lung cancer. Extrapulmonary disease can occur with or without concomitant lung disease. In descending order, cutaneous, osseous, prostatic, and central nervous system involvements are the most frequent manifestations of extrapulmonary blastomycosis. Amphotericin B is curative, but, because of toxicity, oral azole agents have replaced amphotericin B as therapy for less than overwhelming blastomycosis. Itraconazole is now considered to be the agent of choice with fluconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole having a role in selected patients. In a patient with life-threatening or central nervous system blastomycosis amphotericin B should be given, at least initially.

“…Blastomycosis dermatitidis is a systemic fungal infection that, like many other causes of infectious panniculitis, presents with a variety of skin lesions. Papulopustules, verrucous plaques, and ulcerations are among these, but indurated nodules are most consistent with Blastomycosis panniculitis (38). These nodules may enlarge, become fluctuant, and rupture.…”

Infection-induced panniculitis may result from a number of microbes including bacteria, fungi, and parasites. Viruses have also been implicated as a cause. This type of panniculitis can occur as a primary infection by direct inoculation of infectious microorganisms into the subcutaneous tissue, or secondarily via microbial hematogenous dissemination with subsequent infection of the subcutaneous tissue. Panniculitis is rarely viewed solely in terms of infectious causes. Also, subcutaneous infections are infrequently viewed in terms of infection-induced panniculitis but rather as cutaneous infections with subcutaneous involvement. Little information exists specifically on the subject of infection-induced panniculitis outside of the realm of case reports and case series. In this review, the present authors address panniculitis from the vantage point of infectious causes, focusing on those microorganisms with infection-induced panniculitis reports in the literature. Diagnosis and treatment are also discussed.
