Great #tuberculosis regional meeting today. Talks on prison outbreaks / screening, finding undiagnosed latent cases, abdo TB pathways, strategic TB regional plans, paradoxical reaction management, complex TB-HIV-histoplasmosis infection. All great & good to catch up with colleagues, CPD at its best!

“Following diagnostic evaluation for blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, or histoplasmosis, the proportion of patients who tested positive was approximately 3%, with diagnoses confirmed a median of 20 (9-37) days from the index date.” www.infectiousdiseaseadvisor.com/news/fungal-...
Fungal Disease Testing Rates Low in Outpatients With Unspecified CAP
Fungal diagnostic evaluations for blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, or histoplasmosis were rare in patients with unspecified CAP.

Study of 14 Taiwanese pulmonary histoplasmosis pts (78.6% no travel, 71.4% immunocompetent), 85.7% nodular lesions; 78.6% treated (mostly voriconazole); 7.1% died. 📈 since 2015.
Pulmonary Histoplasmosis, Taiwan, 1997–2024
Pulmonary histoplasmosis has traditionally been considered geographically restricted to disease-endemic regions. Taiwan, historically nonendemic, has recently witnessed rising infections. We conducted a retrospective study by reviewing adult patients in Taiwan who had pathologically confirmed pulmonary histoplasmosis during June 1997–December 2024. We analyzed 14 cases with lung involvement. Eight case-patients were male and 6 female; mean age was 56.6 years. Of note, 11 case-patients (78.6%) had no history of travel to histoplasmosis-endemic regions; 10 (71.4%) were immunocompetent. Left upper lobe involvement was most common (n = 4 [28.6%]), with nodular lesions predominating (n = 12 [85.7%]). Most (11 [78.6%]) patients received antifungal therapy, mostly with voriconazole. Outcomes were favorable; 1 (7.1%) patient died. Two additional case-patients without lung involvement exhibited similar demographics and clinical outcomes. Case identification rate has increased since 2015. This 27-year study documents the emergence of pulmonary histoplasmosis in Taiwan, emphasizing the need for heightened clinical suspicion in nonendemic regions.

CDC COCA warns cave tours linked to travel-associated histoplasmosis; clinicians urged to "think fungus"
CDC presenters described three 2025 travel-associated histoplasmosis outbreaks linked to bat-inhabited caves (Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Belize), documented high attack rates and common misdiagnosis with antibiotics or steroids, and urged clinicians to consider fungal testing and counsel workers and travelers on exposure controls.
