Histoplasma capsulatum Endocarditis
Infective endocarditis is an uncommon manifestation of infection with Histoplasma capsulatum. The diagnosis is frequently missed, and outcomes historically have been poor. We present 14 cases of Histoplasma endocarditis seen in the last decade at medical centers throughout the United States. All patients were men, and 10 of the 14 had an infected prosthetic aortic valve. One patient had an infe...
متن کاملHistoplasma capsulatum endocarditis cured by amphotericin B combined with surgery.
A patient is reported who had Histoplasma capsulatum endocarditis, a rare form of disseminated histoplasmosis. He also had disseminated intravascular coagulopathy and defects in cell-mediated immune responses to Histoplasma antigens. Prompt etiologic diagnosis was made by stain of tissue from a mouth ulcer and confirmed by culture of the organism from blood. An echocardiogram compared to a prev...

Bacteriol. 87:33-38. 1964.-The tinctorial characteristics and intracellular generation time of Histoplasma capsulatum within mouse histiocytes maintained in tissue culture were studied. The appearance of viable and nonviable cells of H. capsulatum was observed after staining with the ...
متن کاملFluorescent staining of Histoplasma capsulatum.
In an earlier paper from this laboratory (Gordon, 1958) it was demonstrated that fluorescein-labeled specific antiserum employed as a cellular stain will differentiate Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis from other yeasts and yeastlike organisms, including the remaining members of the genus Candida. The present report describes the preparation and use of a similar reagent for detection and ...
متن کاملImmunological studies on Histoplasma capsulatum.
Alveolar macrophages freshly harvested from normal and immunized rabbits were parasitized with yeast cells and protoplasts of Histoplasma capsulatum. Macrophages obtained from either normal or sensitized rabbits failed to phagocytize protoplasts, whereas, the yeast cells were actively ingested. There was no detectable intracellular killing by macrophages. A serological similarity was found betw...
