Pulmonary histoplasmosis. A possible risk in people who cut decayed wood

TR Pladson, MA Stiles and JN Kuritsky

We report three unrelated outbreaks of acute pulmonary histoplasmosis associated with cutting and gathering firewood in Minnesota. Clinical symptoms and laboratory findings from nine patients are reported. All recovered without treatment. This report emphasizes that physicians must consider cutting and gathering wood, especially decayed wood, as a potential risk for acute pulmonary histoplasmosis even in areas of the country where histoplasmosis is not considered prevalent.
