摘要：
Necrotizing pneumonia is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of pulmonary blastomycosis, a fungal infection caused by inhaling spores of the fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis. This case report describes a 56-year-old male who presented with worsening malaise, subjective fevers and chills, night sweats, and a productive cough. Further evaluation revealed a right upper lobe necrotizing pneumonia secondary to pulmonary blastomycosis.
