[Cutaneous blastomycosis: description of two cases in Tunisia].

Blastomycosis is an uncommon mycotic infection in Africa. Isolated cutaneous disease is extremely rare. The purpose of this report is to describe 2 cases of cutaneous blastomycosis. The first case Involved a 70-year-old rural woman who presented papulonodules associated with scars on the upper extremities and right leg, ongoing for 2 months. The second patient was a 47-year-old woman who presented 2 vegetating plaque areas above the left knee and on the left shoulder, ongoing for 4 months. In addition a bow-shaped scar resulting from a dog bite was observed. Histologic examination and culture on Sabouraud's medium and brain heart agar confirmed diagnosis of cutaneous blastomycosis in both patients. No visceral involvement was found. Blastomycosis is uncommon in Tunisia with only 6 previously published cases. The two cases reported here are interesting because involvement was confined to the skin suggesting cutaneous inoculation of Blastomyces dermatitidis.
