Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Histoplasmosis Histoplasma capsulatum . If a person inhales the spores of this fungus, they may contract histoplasmosis, an infectious disease which can exist in three forms: acute or primary histoplasmosis, which causes flu-like symptoms; chronic histoplasmosis, which affects the lungs and can be fatal; and disseminated histoplasmosis, which can affect multiple body systems and is often fatal. (Illustration by Electronic Illustrators Group.) Definition Histoplasmosis is an infectious disease caused by inhaling the microscopic spores of the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum . The disease exists in three forms. Acute or primary histoplasmosis causes flu-like symptoms. Most people who are infected recover without medical intervention. Chronic histoplasmosis affects the lungs and can be fatal. Disseminated histoplasmosis affects many organ systems in the body and is often fatal, especially to people with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome ( AIDS Description Histoplasmosis is an airborne infection. The spores that cause this disease are found in soil that has been contaminated with bird or bat droppings. In the United States, the disease is most common in eastern and midwestern states and is widespread in the upper Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, and St. Lawrence river valleys. Sometimes histoplasmosis is called Ohio Valley disease, Central Mississippi River Valley disease, Appalachian Mountain disease, Darling's disease, or

Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection that affects the lungs and may occasionally invade other parts of the body. It is an uncommon disease. In 1999, there were 15 cases reported among New York City residents (rate of 0.2 cases per 100,000 persons). Who gets Histoplasmosis? Anyone can get Histoplasmosis. It is recognized more often in immune compromised individuals, such as AIDS patients. Birds (especially chickens), bats, dogs, cats, rats, skunks, possum, foxes, and other animals can get Histoplasmosis and may have a role in spreading the disease. How is Histoplasmosis spread? The disease is acquired by inhaling the spore stage of the fungus. Outbreaks may occur in groups with common exposures to bird or bat droppings or recently disturbed, contaminated soil found in chicken coops, caves, etc. Person-to-person spread of Histoplasmosis does not occur. What are the symptoms of Histoplasmosis?

It can also be found in Africa, Southeast Asia, Canada, Mexico, Central America and South America. The fungus has two separate physical forms: one that is inhaled, called conidia; and a second, which results from converting the aerosol form to budding cells in the lungs. From here, the fungus spreads through the bloodstream. Most cases of

PIDL Home/ Contents Development Nutrition Acute Illness ... Psychosocial Infectious Diseases FIBROSING MEDIASTINITIS COMPLICATING HISTOPLASMOSIS Histoplasmosis is caused by a fungus which grows well in moist environments or in soil enriched by bird or bat droppings. Human disease follows inhalation of the fungal spores. The inhaled organisms transform into yeast forms, which are rapidly phagocytosed but continue to bud within macrophages. The fungus may then spread throughout the reticuloendothelial system by way of the lymphatics. The disease is most prevalent in the central and southern United States, where it occurs commonly in the major river valleys. The causative organism appears to have a particular predilection for blackbird and pigeon roosts, chicken coops, caves, and deserted buildings. Documented human disease occurs most frequently among adolescents and young adults. There is an equal sex distribution of disease among affected children but a predominance of males among older patients. Among those infected with Histoplasma capsulatum , approximately 50% are asymptomatic and another 45% experience only mild symptoms. Following inhalation of the organism, the incubation period before the onset of clinical manifestations varies according to the immune status of the host. Among highly immune patients, incubation periods of 3 to 5 days are reported while among previously unexposed children incubation periods of 12 to 16 days are common.

Ocular Histoplasmosis Syndrome (OHS) OHS is a major cause of visual impairment in the eastern and central United States where 90 percent of adults have been exposed to histoplasma capsulatum. This common fungus is found in molds from soil enriched with bat, chicken or starling droppings and yeasts from animals. Although the fungus is not found directly in the eye, people with OHS usually test positive for previous exposure to histoplasma capsulatum Histoplasmosis is usually mistaken for a cold. The symptoms are very similar. The body’s immune system normally overcomes the infection in a few days. The only evidence of histoplasmosis is histo spots, tiny scars on the retina. Generally histo spots do not affect vision, but for unknown reasons, some people can have ocular complications years or decades later. Doctors believe that the histoplasmosis spores travel from the lungs to the eye where they settle in the choroid, the layer of tiny blood vessels that provides blood and nutrients to the retina, the light-sensing layer of cells lining the back of the eye. Ocular histoplasmosis develops when fragile, abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina. The abnormal blood vessels form a lesion known as choroidal neovascularization (CNV). If left untreated, the CNV lesion can turn into scar tissue and replace the normal retinal tissue in the macula.

An Introduction to Histoplasmosis for Arizona Cavers James B The purpose of this note is to provide background information on histoplasmosis or "histo" for novice Arizona cavers. I am not a doctor. While the information below was gleaned from scientific literature and my own experience as a patient, if you have questions about the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of histoplasmosis, I have three pieces of advice: 1. See your doctor. 2. See your doctor. 3. SEE YOUR DOCTOR! I have not included citations to the literature. Sources of further information are listed at the end. Causal organism and where it lives: Histoplasma capsulatum causes the North American form of histoplasmosis or "histo." This fungus grows well in high-nitrogen soils rich in organic matter, including those enriched with droppings from chickens, bats, blackbirds, pigeons, starlings, and other animals. Of these, bat guano is considered the greatest hazard. Bats themselves carry the disease; birds apparently do not. Bird droppings might need to compost with soil before they can support growth of H. capsulatum
