摘　　要：Blastomycosis, the systemic fungal disease of humans and animals caused by <i>Blastomyces dermatitidis </i>and the cryptic species <i>Blastomyces gilchristii</i><span>,<i> </i></span>is often misdiagnosed as a bacterial or viral pulmonary disease. Therefore, the development of improved immunodiagnostic assays for this disease has been the primary focus of research in our laboratory. The present study was designed to evaluate four <span>Blastomyces</span> yeast-phase lysate antigenic preparations (human, 597, Eagle River, WI;dog, ERC-2, WI;Human, B5927, Mountain Iron, MN;soil, 85, Georgia, ATCC 56920) for their ability to detect antibody in 48 serum specimens from dogs with diagnosed blastomycosis using an indirect ELISA (STD) compared to a biotin-streptavidin ELISA (B-SA). All four lysate antigens were able to detect antibod<span style="font-family:;" "="">ies</span><span style="font-family:;" "=""> in the specimens with mean absorbance values ranging from 0.930 (B5927) to 1.142 (ERC-2) with the STD ELSA and from 1.395 (B5927) to 1.775 (85) with the B-SA ELISA. The results indicated that both ELISA methods could be utilized for antibody detection, but the B-SA ELISA exhibited greater sensitivity than the STD ELISA with all four of the lysates.</span>Blastomycosis, the systemic fungal disease of humans and animals caused by <i>Blastomyces dermatitidis </i>and the cryptic species <i>Blastomyces gilchristii</i><span>,<i> </i></span>is often misdiagnosed as a bacterial or viral pulmonary disease.
