| description | Cerebral blastomycosis may simulate a brain tumor. Its diagnosis is sometimes very difficult. The morphologic identification of the fungus may be misleading because it shares some common features with many other dimorphic fungi. Culturing and conversion of the organism from mycelial phase to yeast phase are not always successful. Immunofluorescent staining of the biopsy tissue is useful in confirming the diagnosis. However, a combination of double immunodiffusion (DID) test and complement fixation (CF) test makes the diagnosis more accurate and reliable. The direct role of macrophages in defending the host against blastomycosis is illustrated by electron microscopy. |
