Overview
The risk factors are not well established for the acquisition of blastomycosis in endemic areas. However, studies conducted over a period of several years, point out the role of moist soil rich in organic debris as a source of transmission.
Risk Factors
- Woody areas especially in endemic areas
- People working outdoors in endemic areas including farmers, forest workers, hunters, campers are slightly more predisposed.[1]
- Immunosuppression
- Collagen vascular disease
- Contact with a person having blastomycosis
