    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Pediatric Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Blastomycosis is a systemic fungal infection caused by *Blastomyces dermatitidis*.
    • While known to affect adults, its presentation in children is less frequently considered.

    Observation:

    • Presents four pediatric cases of blastomycosis.
    • Highlights the challenge of diagnosing this infection in children with slowly resolving pneumonia.

    Findings:

    • Pediatric blastomycosis can mimic other pulmonary illnesses.
    • Delayed diagnosis may increase morbidity.

    Implications:

    • Emphasizes the need to include blastomycosis in the differential diagnosis for pediatric pneumonia.
    • Effective treatments are available, underscoring the importance of timely recognition.
