is a geographically specific dimorphic fungus that can cause a spectrum of diseases. While most cases are asymptomatic pulmonary infections, in severe cases, particularly in immunocompromised patients, disseminated disease can occur. Histoplasmosis in California is limited to only a few case reports. In this article, we describe a rare case of disseminated histoplasmosis in a non-endemic region presenting with diagnostically challenging symptomatology, including altered mental status, status epilepticus, septic shock, and bilateral adrenal masses.
组织胞浆菌是一种具有地理特异性的二相性真菌,可引起一系列疾病。虽然大多数病例为无症状性肺部感染,但在严重情况下,特别是在免疫功能低下的患者中,可发生播散性疾病。加利福尼亚的组织胞浆菌病仅限于少数病例报告。在本文中,我们描述了一例罕见的非地方性播散性组织胞浆菌病病例,其表现出具有诊断挑战性的症状,包括精神状态改变、癫痫持续状态、感染性休克和双侧肾上腺肿块。
