Summary Introduction
To determine:
- What fungal infections could be suspected that were caused during demolishing older downtown building?
- What could be the probable reasoning?
- How can the two infections be differentiated?
Introduction:
The demolition of older downtown buildings resulted in severe lung infection. Hence, this can be thought as to be some fungal infection.

A male researcher wanting to determine the pathogenesis of acertain fungus that often attacks women did the followingexperiment on himself. He taped a piece of gauze heavilyinoculated with the fungus to the inside of his thigh and left itthere for several days, periodically moistening it with sterile saline.After a time he experienced a severe skin reaction that resembled aburn and the skin peeled off.a. Suggest a species of fungus that can cause this effect.b. What does this experiment tell you about the factors inpathogenesis related to portal of entry and gender?
a. you have been provided with a skin scrappping. how would you work on the specimen to be able to identify the fungi present in your facility laboratory
b. what fungi elements are you likely to see?
The geographic location of infection was important in this case. If thestudents in the case had all visited Brazil, what fungal pathogenswould have been suspect? (Choose all that apply.)a. Histoplasma
b. Coccidioidesc. Blastomyces
