Histoplasmosis is an endemic mycosis caused by Histoplasma capsulatum.
Pulmonary histoplasmosis is the most common manifestation of this infectious disease. Disseminated histoplasmosis is often seen in immunosuppressed patients. As such, these are included among the infectious etiologies of AIDS-defining illnesses.
