Abstract
Blastomycosis is a rare condition affecting specific endemic areas in North America. Blastomycosis is characterized primarily as a pulmonary disease but can disseminate to affect other organ systems. Osteomyelitis due to disseminated blastomycosis is a rare condition with limited functional reconstructive options in a young adult. We present a rare case with prolonged antifungal therapy and staged reconstruction with a total talus prosthesis.
