A 37-year-old male presented with a lesion on the left leg. He reported receiving abrasions in the area 3 or 4 months earlier while on tour in Brazil. The lesion was a pink, smooth papular lesion, which he reported itched. The lesion was biopsied and the clinical pathology laboratory reported the presence of short, brownish hyphal fragments and sclerotic or Medlar bodies. The most likely diagnosis for this patient is a. Blastomycosis b. Chromoblastomycosis c. Lacaziosis d. Eumycetoma e. Sporotrichosis

A 40-year old woman from Washington D.C. was admitted to the hospital for investigation of a mass in her right lung. She was on chemotherapy and the cancer seemed to be going into remission. There were no complaints outside those associated with the anti-cancer medication, except that she possessed a slight, chronic cough. Past history revealed a flu-like illness six weeks prior to admission, while she was visiting her sister in California. X-rays showed a well-delineated round density in the right lower lobe. A skin test for tuberculosis was negative. The nodule was surgically removed, and some of the specimen was sent for mycology culture. Within four days, a white fluffy mold grew well on plain SABHI agar and media with cycloheximide and chloramphenicol. 1. What disease do you suspect? A. Fungus ball with Scedosporium apiospermum B. Abscess with Candida albicans C. Pulmonary coccidiomycosis D. Trichophyton mentagrophytes infection E. Infection due to Geotrichum candidum F. Histosplasma capsulatum
