About Histoplasmosis.

Histoplasmosis is an endemic fungal infection caused by inhaling microconidia of the dimorphic fungus *Histoplasma capsulatum*, typically found in soil enriched with bird or bat droppings.

Primarily affecting the respiratory system, the organism converts into a pathogenic yeast within alveolar macrophages, where it can trigger granulomatous inflammation.

While most immunocompetent individuals experience an asymptomatic or mild, self-limited, flu-like respiratory illness, progressive cavitary disease or widespread hematogenous dissemination to the reticuloendothelial system, mucosal tissues, and adrenal glands can occur, particularly in immunocompromised patients, older adults, and infants.
