Abstract

We present an autochthonous Histoplasma infection in Israel. The patient presented with hoarseness and weight loss. Pathology findings and molecular tests confirmed the diagnosis, and the patient responded to antifungal therapy. Because the patient had an atypical presentation of histoplasmosis, it is likely that other more typical cases have gone unreported. To our knowledge, no other cases have been previously reported from Israel or the Middle East region.
