Pathogenesis of Histoplasma capsulatum1
Seminars in Respiratory Infections, 2001Histoplasma capsulatum is well adapted to be infectious and pathogenic for humans. As a soil fungus with no known requirement for interacting with a mammalian host as part of an obligate lifecycle, its plethora of strategies for successful pathogenesis is particularly remarkable.

Histoplasma Duboisii and Large Forms of Histoplasma Capsulatum
Mycologia, 1956We might admit that H. duboisii is a giant type of H. capsulatum, but there are no reasons to regard H. duboisii as nothing more than the large forms of H.

Tuberculate spores distinguish the mold stage of Histoplasma from that of related pathogenic fungi. The tuberculations are not thickenings of the spore wall. They are extensions of the spore contents through the wall openings. The whole or the tip of a tuberculation may become detached and act as a spore.

Reevaluation of Diagnostic Histoplasma Serologies
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1981There are few quantitative guidelines for the interpretation of serologic tests for histoplasmosis. Furthermore, guidelines that have been proposed are not accepted generally. This report reviews experiences with complement fixation and latex agglutination tests performed in a large acute-care hospital in an endemic area, and depicts the relationship ...

Nutritional studies of histoplasma capsulatum
Mycopathologia et Mycologia Applicata, 1965A chemically defined medium, composed of inorganic salts, glucose, asparagine, cystine, and a vitamin supplement, has been devised for growth of the yeast phase ofHistoplasma capsulatum. Growth in this medium was abundant and compared favorably with that in media containing complex natural material.

The radiological features of histoplasma pericarditis
Pediatric Radiology, 1978The radiographic features of pericarditis due to Histoplasma capsulatum are described in 5 children. This diagnosis is suggested when enlargement of the cardiac silhouette is associated with pneumonia, parenchymal nodules or adenopathy. These findings are particularly significant if the patient lives or has lived in an area which is endemic for ...

A serendipitous isolate of Histoplasma capsulatum
Pathology, 1988This is a report of an unexpected laboratory diagnosis of Histoplasma capsulatum. The fungus was isolated from an acute cellulitic lesion on the forearm of an elderly male patient with a functioning renal transplant. The patient resides within the environs of Brisbane and has not travelled outside Australia. We consider the isolation of H.

Inhibition of Histoplasma capsulatum by Garlic
Mycopathologia et Mycologia Applicata, 1973The mycelial phase ofHistoplasma capsulatum was inhibited by both the volatile and water soluble components of garlic,Allium sativum L. Garlic extract at a concentration of 254 parts per billion (ppb) was inhibitory, while 8.1 parts per million (ppm) were lethal to pure cultures ofH. capsulatum. The role of garlic as an eradicent is discussed.

Pericarditis caused by histoplasma capsulatum
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1976Sixteen patients with pericarditis caused by Histoplasma capsulatum were studied. Fourteen were less than 30 years old, and no patient had an underlying illness or was receiving immunosuppressive therapy. All patients experienced a flu-like prodromal illness lasting from 2 weeks to 4 months.
