Blastomyces dermatitidis causes blastomycosis (USA and Middle East). The disease often resembles tuberculosis or a carcinoma. It can be treated with itraconazole (200-400 mg/day for a minimum of 6 months). Amphotericin B is used when the infection is resistant to itraconazole or when the brain is affected. There is still insufficient experience with echinocandine.
