    Extractions: What is histoplasmosis? Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection that affects the lungs and may occasionally invade other parts of the body. It is an uncommon disease. In 1999, there were 15 cases reported among New York City residents (rate of 0.2 cases per 100,000 persons). Who gets histoplasmosis? Anyone can get histoplasmosis. It is recognized more often in immunocompromised individuals, such as AIDS patients. Birds (especially chickens), bats, dogs, cats, rats, skunks, opossum, foxes, and other animals can get histoplasmosis and may have a role in spreading the disease. How is histoplasmosis spread? The disease is acquired by inhaling the spore stage of the fungus. Outbreaks may occur in groups with common exposures to bird or bat droppings or recently disturbed, contaminated soil found in chicken coops, caves, etc. Person-to-person spread of histoplasmosis does not occur. What are the symptoms of histoplasmosis?

If a person inhales the spores of this fungus, they may contract histoplasmosis, an infectious disease which can exist in three forms: acute or primary histoplasmosis, which causes flu-like symptoms; chronic histoplasmosis, which affects the lungs and can be fatal; and disseminated histoplasmosis, which can affect multiple body systems and is often fatal. (Illustration by Electronic Illustrators Group.) Definition Histoplasmosis is an infectious disease caused by inhaling the microscopic spores of the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum . The disease exists in three forms. Acute or primary histoplasmosis causes flu-like symptoms. Most people who are infected recover without medical intervention. Chronic histoplasmosis affects the lungs and can be fatal. Disseminated histoplasmosis affects many organ systems in the body and is often fatal, especially to people with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome ( AIDS Description Histoplasmosis is an airborne infection. The spores that cause this disease are found in soil that has been contaminated with bird or bat droppings. In the United States, the disease is most common in eastern and midwestern states and is widespread in the upper Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, and St. Lawrence river valleys. Sometimes histoplasmosis is called Ohio Valley disease, Central Mississippi River Valley disease, Appalachian Mountain disease, Darling's disease, or

There may be a short period of active infection or can become chronic and spread throughout the body. When spreads, it often infects the linings of the brain, adrenal glands, and other organs. Histoplasmosis can occur almost anywhere in the world. In the United States, histoplasmosis is most common in the southeastern, mid-Atlantic, and central states. Histoplasmosis is also called Ohio River Valley fever What Causes Histoplasmosis? Histoplasmosis is caused by a fungus called Histoplasma capsulatum Histoplasma capsulatum grows as a mold in soil. usually occurs after inhalation of Histoplasma capsulatum. How is Histoplasmosis Transmitted? Histoplasmosis is transmitted via inhalation of airborne spores that contain the fungus. After the fungus is inhaled, it grows and produces more fungus.

    Extractions: HISTOPLASMOSIS DESCRIPTION: Disease of the choroid; caused by an invasion of a fungal organism; transmitted by airborne spores found in dried animal excrement; the peripheral fundus has "punched-out" spots similar to healed chorioretinal lesions, but smaller and less pigmented. Macular involvement may occur later (believed to be a result of earlier choroidal sensitization and subsequent reinfection); these macular lesions may progress to hemorrhagic detachments. There is no vitreous haze. There is a positive reaction to a skin test for the disease. It seems to occur more often in the eastern half of the United States. TREATMENT: Many treatments have been advocated, including systemic corticosteroids, antihistamines, and photocoagulation of perimacular leakage, but results have been questionable in all cases. Once disciform changes begin, prognosis is very poor. IMPLICATIONS: In the initial stages, when only the peripheral fundus is affected, the vision is not affected (except for peripheral scotomas, which do not usually interfere with visual functioning). If the macula becomes involved, decreased central acuity, deficient color vision, and central scotoma can cause considerable loss of visual function. Optical aids may be helpful in these cases.

Its symptoms can include malaise (a general ill feeling), fever, chest pain, dry cough, headache, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, joint and muscle pains, chills, and hoarseness. Most infected people experience no symptoms, or have symptoms so mild that they do not seek medical attention. Symptoms appear within 5 to 18 days after infection, usually around 10 days. Some persons fail to control the infection that may then progress over the course of a few weeks or more. These patients develop either a long-lasting lung infection, called

    Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed The appropriate evaluation of a lung nodule is a significant clinical challenge. There are many potential causes for lung nodules, however as clinicians we are most concerned with the separation of malignant and inflammatory disease. This is an important distinction because the diagnostic and therapeutic approach differs significantly for the two disease categories. Infectious causes of lung nodules will differ among different geographic areas. In the great river valleys of the central United States, the most common cause of infectious lung nodule is Histoplasma capsulatum infection. The organism Histoplasma capsulatum was first described in 1906 by Dr. Samuel Darling in the Panama Canal Zone. The name referred to his belief that the organism, found in reticuloendothelial cells, was an encapsulated plasmodium. The name persists despite the fact that it is now known to be a non-encapsulated yeast. The organism is found world wide, but in the United States it is endemic to the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys. High concentrations of the organism can be found in bird roosts, caves inhabited by bats, school yards, areas with rotten or decaying wood, and chicken coops. Human activities in and around theses regions may lead to infection. In all cases, the lung is the point of entry. In the 1940's a skin test was developed by Christie and Peterson for histoplasmin, and it was soon found that vast numbers of people in endemic areas had positive tests but were asymptomatic. Shortly thereafter large numbers of people with calcified lung lesions on radiographs and a negative tuberculin skin test were found to have positive histoplasmin skin tests.

Most cases are mild or without symptoms. Acute pulmonary histoplasmosis may occur in epidemics. Progressive or spreading (disseminated) and chronic disease can also occur. In disseminated disease, the infection is spread to other organs of the body from the lungs via the bloodstream. The liver and spleen are usually enlarged, and all body organs can be involved. Ulcerations of the mouth or gastrointestinal tract may occur. Risk factors are travel to or residence within the central or eastern U.S., and exposure to the droppings of birds and bats.

Wheat et al. enrolled 59 patients in a study (ACTG 120) of open-label itraconazole for the treatment and prevention of relapse of acute histoplasmosis. All subjects received 300 mg PO twice daily for 3 days followed by a 12 week course (200 mg twice daily). Fifty of 59 (85%) patients responded to treatment (clearance of fungermia) and were continued on itraconazole maintenance treatment (200 to 400 mg PO daily) for at least one year. Of the nine non-responders, six failed treatment, two experienced toxicity, one was lost to follow-up.

    Extractions: Histoplasmosis Histoplasmosis is an infectious disease caused by inhaling the spores of a fungus called Histoplasma capsulatum . Its symptoms vary greatly, but the disease primarily affects the lungs. Occasionally, other organs are affected. This form of the disease is called disseminated histoplasmosis, and it can be fatal if untreated. Many infected people are asymptomatic (have no apparent ill effects), or they experience symptoms so mild they do not seek medical attention and may not even realize what their illness was. When do symptoms start? If symptoms occur they will usually start within 3 to 17 days after exposure, the average is 10 days. What are the symptoms of histoplasmosis? Most infected persons have no apparent ill effects. The acute respiratory disease is characterized by respiratory symptoms, a general ill feeling, fever, chest pains, and a dry or nonproductive cough. Distinct patterns may be seen on a chest x-ray. Chronic lung disease resembles tuberculosis and can worsen over months or years. The disseminated form is fatal unless treated. Is histoplasmosis treatable?
