Prevalence of Histoplasmosis among Persons with Advanced HIV Disease, Nigeria

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
We sought to determine the prevalence of probable disseminated histoplasmosis among advanced HIV disease (AHD) patients in Nigeria. We conducted a cross-sectional study in 10 sites across 5 of 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria. We identified patients with

Detection of Histoplasma capsulatum and Blastomyces dermatitidis antigens in serum using a single quantitative enzyme immunoassay

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2023
Histoplasma and Blastomyces antigen detection assays are commonly used diagnostic tools. However, a high level of cross-reactivity between these antigens prevents definitive pathogen identification by these assays alone.

Prevalence of Histoplasmosis and Molecular Characterization of Histoplasma species in Patients with Presumptive Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Calabar, Nigeria

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background Several case reports abound in literature about cases of histoplasmosis misdiagnosed as tuberculosis (TB). Nigeria is one of the highest TB-burdened countries, but data on histoplasmosis in Nigeria are sparse in the literature. The aim of this

Cryptococcal and Histoplasma Antigen Screening Among People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus in Ghana and Comparative Analysis of OIDx Histoplasma Lateral Flow Assay and IMMY Histoplasma Enzyme Immunoassay

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) and disseminated histoplasmosis (DH) are common in people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH) and diagnosed by detecting cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) and Histoplasma antigen (HistoAg), respectively. In Ghana, CM

Molecular Detection of Histoplasma capsulatum in Antarctica

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
We detected Histoplasma capsulatum in soil and penguin excreta in the Antarctic Peninsula by sequencing after performing species-specific PCR, confirming previous observations that this pathogen occurs more broadly than suspected. This finding highlights
