Abstract

In this review, we present a case report of an immunocompetent 58-year-old male who presented with disseminated histoplasmosis (DH) outside of the known endemic regions. Due to his atypical clinical presentation that did not fit the classical clinical picture of DH, the diagnosis was delayed. In addition, we researched DH in the immunocompetent hosts as these cases are not common and leave the patient population vulnerable to delayed diagnosis. The literature supports considering histoplasmosis in the differential diagnosis among patients who present with possible exposures outside of endemic regions and are immunocompetent.

亚利桑那州南部一名免疫功能正常患者的播散性组织胞浆菌病。

在这篇综述中，我们报告了一例免疫功能正常的 58 岁男性患者的病例，该患者在已知流行地区以外出现播散性组织胞浆菌病（DH）。由于他的临床表现不典型，不符合 DH 的经典临床表现，因此诊断被延迟了。此外，我们还研究了免疫功能健全的宿主中的 DH，因为这些病例并不常见，而且患者群体容易被延误诊断。文献支持将组织胞浆菌病纳入流行地区以外可能接触过组织胞浆菌且免疫功能正常的患者的鉴别诊断中。

期刊介绍： Journal of Fungi (ISSN 2309-608X) is an international, peer-reviewed scientific open access journal that provides an advanced forum for studies related to pathogenic fungi, fungal biology, and all other aspects of fungal research. The journal publishes reviews, regular research papers, and communications in quarterly issues. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on paper length. Full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
