Histoplasmose: Symptomer
De fleste som utsettes for smitte, blir ikke syke, men ved stor eksponering for soppsporer er det rapportert flere utbrudd med høy innsykning blant ellers friske personer. Immunfriske mennesker får sjelden eller aldri de alvorligste sykdomsbildene. Aids-pasienter og andre immunsvekkede er mer mottakelige og kan bli alvorlig syke.
Annonse
Sykdommen kan gi ulike sykdomsbilder. Oftest preges sykdommen av luftveissymptomer (akutt lungehistoplasmose), men feber og leddsmerter forekommer også. Inkubasjonsperioden er vanligvis 3-17 dager, men den kan noen ganger være lenger.
