Abstract
In a presumed common-source outbreak of blastomycosis 21 persons had extensive, repeated exposure. Eighteen of them gave evidence of infection by the fungus. Of the seven with symptoms three were severely ill, whereas the other four had clinically mild illness of short duration. An additional 11 asymptomatic persons were judged to have been infected on the basis of an abnormal chest roentgenogram or a positive blastomycin skin test or both.Keywords
