Article Synopsis
- - Histoplasmosis, typically linked to AIDS, also significantly affects cancer patients, with most cases reported from the USA and a majority being adults presenting symptoms like fever and lymphadenopathy.
- - Out of 34 cases studied, 73.5% were associated with hematological cancers, and diagnosis was primarily achieved through histopathology and culture methods.
- - Favorable outcomes were noted in 70.6% of cases, but histoplasmosis remains underdiagnosed in Africa, underlining the need for better screening in cancer patients to enhance diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
