Blastomyces dermatitidis is a thermally dimorphic fungus that causes blastomycosis, a potentially severe pulmonary and systemic infection, by converting from a mycelial form to a yeast form in human and animal tissue.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may potentially enhance the immune response and improve treatment outcomes in Blastomyces dermatitidis infections by increasing oxygen levels and promoting healing in affected tissues.
