Acute miliary blastomycosis in an AIDS patient.
The incidence of blastomycosis in immunocompromised patients with HIV infection is very low when compared to other mycoses. Of the 19 cases of blastomycosis described in HIV-infected patients, only four had a miliary pattern on chest x-ray. A case of acute miliary blastomycosis in an HIV infected patient from Louisville is described.
