DOI: 10.1016/j.artd.2019.02.004
Abstract: Histoplasma capsulatum periprosthetic knee infection has rarely been reported in the literature due to its low frequency. Notwithstanding, it is important to keep it among the differential diagnoses to avoid delays in treatment. The current… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mib.2017.10.003
Abstract: Mammalian body temperature triggers differentiation of the fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum into yeast cells. The Drk1 regulatory kinase and an interdependent network of Ryp transcription factors establish the yeast state. Beyond morphology, the differentiation-dependent expression… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/21505594.2019.1663596
Abstract: ABSTRACT Histoplasma capsulatum is a member of a group of fungal pathogens called thermally dimorphic fungi, all of which respond to mammalian body temperature by converting from an environmental mold form into a parasitic host… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/21505594.2022.2137987
Abstract: ABSTRACT Histoplasmosis is a systemic mycosis caused by the thermally dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. Although healthy individuals can develop histoplasmosis, the disease is particularly life-threatening in immunocompromised patients, with a wide range of clinical manifestations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cmi.13217
Abstract: Histoplasma capsulatum is a dimorphic fungus that most frequently causes pneumonia, but can also disseminate and proliferate in diverse tissues. H. capsulatum has a complex secretion system that mediates the release of macromolecule-degrading enzymes and… read more here.
