This case report details Blastomyces dermatitidis causing temporal bone osteomyelitis, initially presenting as chronic otitis media. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for this rare fungal infection to prevent mortality.

Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Blastomyces dermatitidis is a fungal pathogen causing systemic pyogranulomatous disease.
  • Commonly affects skin, bones, lungs, and genitourinary systems.
  • Untreated infections carry a high mortality rate.

Observation:

  • A rare case of temporal bone osteomyelitis caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis is reported.
  • The infection initially presented as chronic serous otitis media.
  • The otitis media was refractory to standard medical and surgical treatments.

Findings:

  • The refractory otitis media progressed to temporal bone osteomyelitis.
  • This highlights a rare otologic manifestation of Blastomyces dermatitidis infection.
