A California farmer developed a low grade fever, myalgia and cough. A chest X ray revealed an infiltrate in the lungs. Microscopic examination of the sputum revealed round, budding cells. A sputum culture grew mycelia and arthroconidia. What organisms is most likely the cause of the symptoms? What is causing the man’s disease? How is this disease transmitted? How might it be prevented?
After drinking raw milk a woman developed fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Instead of recovering, this episode was followed by severe, but temporary paralysis. What organism causes this infection? What is the name of the syndrome the woman experienced?
