Recurrent Pneumothorax and a Solitary Pulmonary Nodule: A Case Report of a Rare Sequelae of Histoplasmosis
Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection caused by a histoplasma species known to be endemic to the Ohio River valley region. Commonly encountered as a solitary pulmonary nodule, histoplasmosis has both acute and chronic forms. We present a case of a 36-year-old woman with multiple episodes of pneumothorax who was ultimately diagnosed with pulmonary histoplasmosis, demonstrating a complication of chronic pulmonary histoplasmosis, which has not been reported in the medical literature.
