The endemic mycoses--histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, and coccidioidomycosis-pose a common problem in the differential diagnosis of the atypical pneumonia syndrome. Careful exposure-and-travel history frequently serves as a strong clue to aid diagnosis. Careful interpretation of serologic data may be useful but seldom timely. In critically ill patients, invasive diagnostic tests are frequently needed.
地方性真菌病——组织胞浆菌病、芽生菌病和球孢子菌病——在非典型肺炎综合征的鉴别诊断中是一个常见问题。仔细询问暴露史和旅行史常常是有助于诊断的重要线索。对血清学数据的仔细解读可能有用，但很少能及时得出结论。对于重症患者，常常需要进行侵入性诊断检查。
