Histoplasmosis
Description
Histoplasmosis is a disease caused by the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum that occurs in temperate and tropical climates. It is one of the most frequent invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised patients or patients receiving tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers. Most affected patients present with pneumonitis, and sometimes the disease may be disseminated from the lungs to other organs.
