Case Report: Histoplasmosis: First Autochthonous Case from Israel.

Am J Trop Med Hyg

Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) Department Head and Neck Surgery, French Hospital Nazareth, Faculty of Medicine of Bar Ilan University, Galilee, Israel.

Published: January 2018

We present an autochthonous infection in Israel. The patient presented with hoarseness and weight loss. Pathology findings and molecular tests confirmed the diagnosis, and the patient responded to antifungal therapy. Because the patient had an atypical presentation of histoplasmosis, it is likely that other more typical cases have gone unreported. To our knowledge, no other cases have been previously reported from Israel or the Middle East region.
