Histoplasmosis

What is Histoplasmosis?

Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection caused by Histoplasma capsulatum, often found in soil containing bird or bat droppings. Most cases are mild, but severe infections can affect the lungs and other organs.

Diagnosis:

Diagnosis involves blood tests, fungal cultures, or imaging to assess lung involvement.

Treatment:

Mild cases may resolve without treatment, while more severe infections require antifungal medications such as itraconazole or amphotericin B.
