Concept explainers
(1)
To determine:
Blastomyces is dimorphic,what does this adjective means.
Case summary:
Phil was suffering from flu that was characterize by fever and chills, shivering, coughing, muscles aches, tiredness, feeling of yuckiness (no running nose). This flu was caused by Blastomyces which is a dimorphic
He caught this diseases as he inhaled the fungal spores that were released from hyphae of Blastomyces which is growing on wet leaves in the region of Winconsin and Ontario. Theze spores then enter in the Phil’s lungs and gernminated.
2.
To determine:
Why does AIDS increases the incidence of Blastomyces.
Case summary:
Blastomycosis is a type of fungal infection which is caused by fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis. It is a chronic infection which occurs in immunocompromised patients. The fungus exists in two dimorphic form such as yeast and mold form.
3.
To determine:
Blastomyces is a mold that grows on dead leaves, so how it cause disease in people.
Case summary:
Blastomycosis is a dimorphic fungi that exists in two forms “mold and yeast” form. These plants release fungal spores and if these spores are inhaled they infects and germinats in the lungs of the target individual.
