Prevalence and incidence statistics for Blastomycosis:

See also prevalence and incidence page for Blastomycosis

Incidence (annual) of Blastomycosis: 1-2 cases per 100,000 (DBMD)

Incidence Rate: approx 1 in 100,000 or 0.00% or 2,720 people in USA [about data]

Incidence extrapolations for USA for Blastomycosis: 2,720 per year, 226 per month, 52 per week, 7 per day, 0 per hour, 0 per minute, 0 per second. Note: this extrapolation calculation uses the incidence statistic: 1-2 cases per 100,000 (DBMD)

Prevalance of Blastomycosis: 1-2 cases per 100,000 population in areas with endemic disease. (Source: excerpt from Blastomycosis: DBMD)

About statistics:

This page presents a variety of statistics about Blastomycosis. The term 'prevalence' of Blastomycosis usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Blastomycosis at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Blastomycosis refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Blastomycosis diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
