Limited historical case series reported 50\u201390% mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by blastomycosis.

Of these, 219 (11.9%) underwent MV with a mortality rate of 39.7% compared with 2.5% in patients not requiring ventilatory support (P &amp;lt; .01). The median (IQR) time to death for patients requiring MV was 12 (8\u201316) days. The median length of hospital stay for survivors of MV was 22 (14\u201337) days. The rate of MV was higher for patients treated in teaching hospitals (63.4% vs 57.2%, P = .05) and lower for those receiving care at a rural hospital (12.3% vs 17.2%, P = .04). In a multivariate model, female gender was associated with increased risk of mortality (OR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.06\u20133.20; P = .03) as was increasing patient age (10-year age increase OR, 1.64; 95% CI,
