Abstract
Two facial nodules and a pulmonary infiltrate occurred in a twenty-one-year-old man. Tissue cultures from one of the facial lesions showed both Sporothrix schenckii and Blastomyces dermatitidis. Cultures from lung biopsy tissue grew B. dermatitidis. This is the first known reported case of sporotrichosis and blastomycosis occurring concurrently in the same cutaneous lesion.
