blastomycosis
Blastomycosis is a rare infectious disease caused by the fungus Blastomyces, which primarily affects the lungs but can spread to other organs. The fungus is usually found in moist soil and in decomposing organic matter in various parts of the world. People may become infected after inhaling the fungal spores, although most infected people do not develop symptoms. However, some people may develop a flu-like illness, skin infections, or severe respiratory problems. It is typically treated with antifungal medications.
