Blastomycotic

/ˌblæstəmaɪˈkɑtɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to, caused by, or characteristic of blastomycosis, the fungal infection disease.

Etymology

From 'blastomycosis' plus '-ic', standard medical terminology for describing disease characteristics and conditions.

Kelly Says

A blastomycotic infection in the skin creates nodules and ulcers that slowly spread, making it look deceptively similar to leishmaniasis or other tropical diseases, a confusion that delayed proper diagnosis for decades.
