| prevalence of histoplasmosis in a midsouthern population. | we found a histoplasmin reactivity rate of 69% in a selected population of normal midsouthern adults. this prevalence is similar to that previously reported and has major clinical implications for area residents who are infected with human immunodeficiency virus and are at risk for disseminated disease with histoplasma capsulatum. | 1991 | 1948222 |
| disseminated histoplasmosis in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus. | disseminated histoplasmosis is an aids-defining illness that occurs in about 5% of aids patients residing in histoplasmosis-endemic areas of the united states (the mississippi and ohio river valleys). this disease develops as a result of acute infection and perhaps also as the result of reactivation of latent infection: cases reported from areas such as new york city, where histoplasmosis is not endemic, are most likely due to reactivation of an infection acquired earlier in a histoplasmosis-end ... | 1995 | 8547497 |
| disseminated histoplasmosis in renal allograft recipients. | histoplasmosis, an opportunistic fungal infection endemic in the ohio and mississippi river valleys, is caused by a dimorphic fungus histoplasma capsulatum. most infections are asymptomatic or self-limited febrile illness. immunosuppressed renal transplant recipients are susceptible to a disseminated disease. we report 5 cases of disseminated histoplasmosis seen in our institute over a period of 25 years amongst 1074 renal transplant recipients. the duration of immunosuppression prior to the dia ... | 1996 | 8664511 |
| cutaneous disseminated histoplasmosis in aids patients in south florida. | histoplasma capsulatum is a dimorphic pathogenic fungus endemic to the mississippi and ohio river valleys. in the immunocompetent it causes a self-limited disease, but in the immunocompromised may lead to disseminated disease (disseminated histoplasmosis (dh)). it is one of the opportunistic infections which defines the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) and is rarely encountered outside endemic regions. | 1997 | 9329891 |
| histoplasmosis in a state where it is not known to be endemic--montana, 2012-2013. | histoplasmosis is caused by infection with the dimorphic fungus, histoplasma capsulatum, following inhalation of contaminated soil. among symptomatic patients, the most common clinical presentation is acute pneumonia. persons with compromised immune systems are at risk for disseminated histoplasmosis, a severe illness requiring antifungal therapy that is often characterized by fever, malaise, anorexia, and weight loss. h. capsulatum is endemic in the ohio river and mississippi river valleys, whe ... | 2013 | 24153314 |
