A review of literature for Quebec, Canada revealed only few case reports with the most recent one dating back to 1993. However, whether Quebec represents an important endemic region for blastomycosis in North America is unknown. In this work we reviewed 158 cases of human blastomycosis documented in Quebec during 1988\u20132011 using microbiological records available from the provincial public health laboratory. The estimated annual incidence of blastomycosis in the province is was \u223c0\u00b7133 cases per 100 000 individuals with the highest rates of 0\u00b779 and 0\u00b746 cases per 100 000 recorded in South-eastern and South-western Quebec. Moreover, the annual incidence rate significantly increased over the past 20 years.
