Acute Blastomycotic Arthritis

Blastomycotic extensor tenosynovitis of the hand: a case report

“…Osteomyelitis is a much more common manifestation of blastomycosis than septic arthritis [5,15,17]. Joint involvement can occur with or without adjacent osteomyelitis, most often involving the knee, followed by the ankle, elbow, wrist, and hand [6,16]. Patients with bone lesions rarely present with bone pain but instead present with contiguous soft tissue abscesses or chronic draining sinuses [4].…”

“…After lung and skin, the bone is the third most common site of infection. The most common musculoskeletal manifestations of the disease process include osteomyelitis or a monoarticular or polyarticular septic arthritis [1,5,6,13,16]. Blastomycotic infections involving the hand can be seen in the setting of multiple osseous lesions, but isolated lesions of the hand are relatively rare [5–7,9,13,14,16].…”

Blastomycosis presenting as monarticular arthritis. The role of synovial fluid cytology

“…The frequency of blastomycotic arthritis, however, is not known since synovial fluid has rarely been examined (Table 2). Only 14 cases of documented joint involvement by Blastomyces dermatitidis could be found in the English literature since 1950 (2,3,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17).
