標題: | Molecular evidence of recurrent histoplasmosis with 9-year latency in a patient with Addison's disease | 作者: | TAI-CHUNG TSENG SHWU-JEN LIAW HSIAO, CHENG-HSIANG WANG, CHENG-YI LI-NA LEE TIEN-SHANG HUANG PO-REN HSUEH |

The patient acquired Histoplasma capsulatum in China and initially presented with a laryngeal mass. He developed fulminant pneumonia and respiratory failure 9 years later. Nucleotide sequences of internal transcribed spacer regions of rRNA genes of the H. capsulatum isolate recovered from biopsied lung tissue and of the extracted fungal DNA from the laryngeal lesion were identical, indicating the recurrent nature of infection.
