Abstract
Disseminated blastomycosis can be a devastating disease, affecting multiple organ systems, including the musculoskeletal system. Osteomyelitis from disseminated disease can be difficult to eradicate but is particularly important to successfully manage in the load-bearing bones of the lower extremity. We present a staged protocol for salvage of blastomycotic calcaneal osteomyelitis in the presence of disseminated disease.
