AbstractA 32-year-old man with diabetes had rapid development of acute respiratory failure and severe hypoxemia. Radiologic and hemodynamic evaluation confirmed the clinical diagnosis of adult respiratory distress syndrome, and open-lung biopsy disclosed blastomycosis as the etiologic agent. The survival of this patient, after amphotericin therapy, to our knowledge is the first reported recovery from substantiated adult respiratory distress syndrome secondary to blastomycosis.
