- Mention microbial infections and most people think of hospitals, not summer camp. But being outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air is not without risk. In June 2012, a camp counselor in Omaha, Nebraska, was diagnosed with histoplasmosis, a fungal infection with symptoms similar to pneumonia: fever, headache, and respiratory distress. Although most people suffering from histoplasmosis will recover without medical treatment, the very young, very old, and people with chronic lung conditions are at greater risk for developing severe disease, which may on rare occasions prove fatal. In areas of the eastern and central United States, where Histoplasma capsulatum is endemic, dirt contaminated with bird and bat guano often contains spores of the fungus. Disturbing such contaminated dirt is a known risk factor for developing the disease. Because the sick camp counselor was one of 32 that worked at the camp, and the camp served 797 children, the Douglas County Department of Health (DCDH) and the…arrow_forwardCharacteristic features of subcutaneous mycoses include: traumatic implantation of the fungus all of the above chronicity etiologic agents are soil saprophytesarrow_forwardBriefly Explain Why fungal infections are more difficult to treat compared to bacterial infection?
