Histoplasmosis in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: 10 Years of Experience at a Large Transplant Center in an Endemic Area

Abstract

In conclusion, posttransplantation histoplasmosis is rare (1 case per 1000 transplant-person-years; 95% confidence interval, 0.6-1.7), even in endemic areas. Prognosis is good but requires protracted therapy. Patients with latent infection did not develop posttransplantation histoplasmosis when prophylaxis was used.
