At this visit, the Blastomyces urine antigen remained elevated at 24.80 EIA units (Figure 1). The Blastomyces urine antigen remained stable but elevated throughout the third trimester of pregnancy (17.52-26.44 EIA units) up to 36-week gestation (Figure 1). At 2 and 3 weeks of life, the infant had a weakly positive urine Blastomyces antigen test, but subsequent urine samples sent up to age 12 weeks were negative (Figure 1). She was clinically well in follow-up while receiving antifungal therapy, and a Blastomyces urine antigen level measured 13 months after delivery has decreased to 6.22 EIA units (Figure 1).
