Abstract
Blastomycosis is not yet considered endemic in upstate New York, USA; however, cases have increased during the past decade. We performed a retrospective study of 54 laboratory-confirmed cases reported during 2000–2024. Our results demonstrate an increase in incidence over time, indicating that this region represents an emerging endemic area.
