<unk>  is caused by a dimorphic fungi called Blastomyces dermatitidis. It has an average incubation period of 3 weeks to 3 months after exposure. The initial neutrophilic response and the subsequent cell-mediated immune response are manifested as a suppurative tissue destruction seen in lungs, skin, and other organs. The histopathological hallmark findings on sputum microscopy is the multinucleated yeast form (budding).
