Article Synopsis
- - Histoplasma capsulatum is a fungal pathogen found mainly in the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys, as well as parts of Central and South America, and can reactivate in people with weakened immune systems.
- - A case study describes a 72-year-old man who developed a painful tongue ulcer after starting immunosuppressive treatment for arthritis, revealing a latent infection with H. capsulatum that he likely contracted years earlier during military service in Central America.
- - This case emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to be aware of the risks of histoplasmosis in patients with potential exposure to endemic areas, particularly before starting immunosuppressive therapies.
