Article Synopsis
- Histoplasmosis is a global fungal infection that poses a significant risk, particularly to HIV-infected patients, who often present advanced stages of the disease.
- In a study involving 99 patients, it was found that HIV+ individuals experienced a longer delay in diagnosis and a higher rate of disseminated histoplasmosis compared to HIV- patients.
- The research highlighted the importance of early screening for histoplasmosis in HIV+ patients, as they faced increased hospitalization rates and mortality risks associated with severe symptoms.
