BLASTOMYCES DERMATITIDIS

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Blastomyces dermatitidis

Blastomyces dermatitidis is a fungal pathogen that causes the infection blastomycosis, commonly known as Chicago disease or Gilchrist's disease. This pathogen can affect both humans and animals, particularly those in endemic areas such as the Midwest region of the United States. Early detection of Blastomyces dermatitidis is crucial as the symptoms of blastomycosis can be nonspecific and mimic other infections, leading to delayed diagnosis and potentially serious consequences.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Blastomyces dermatitidis allows for sensitive and specific identification of this fungal pathogen, enabling early diagnosis and treatment of blastomycosis. Rapid detection of Blastomyces dermatitidis is essential in preventing progression to severe respiratory or systemic disease in affected individuals. By using YouSeq's qPCR product, healthcare providers can quickly and accurately diagnose blastomycosis, leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.
