Abstract
Four cases of blastomycosis in children selected from a larger series of cases seen over 36 months are presented. This infection in the pediatric age group is not often considered in the setting of a slowly resolving pneumonic illness. The morbidity and mortality of this disease in the adult warrant careful consideration of this entity in the pediatric age group, since effective therapy is available.
