摘要

在囊胚菌病（n = 281）、球孢子菌病（n = 1920）和组织浆菌病（n = 2180）患者中，62%的患者诊断延迟（平均29天）。与没有延误的患者相比，经历延误的患者平均多支付了高达15 648美元（95%置信区间：8600美元至22 695美元）的医疗费用。早期诊断可能有助于减少多余的费用。

Impact of Delays in Diagnosis on Healthcare Costs Associated With Blastomycosis, Coccidioidomycosis, and Histoplasmosis in a Commercially Insured Population.

Among patients with blastomycosis (n = 281), coccidioidomycosis (n = 1920), and histoplasmosis (n = 2180), 62% experienced diagnostic delays (mean 29 days). Patients who experienced delays incurred average excess healthcare costs of up to $15 648 (95% confidence interval: $8600-$22 695) compared with those without a delay. Earlier diagnosis may help reduce excess costs.
