Median age was 14 years (range 0.3\u201318.7 years); most were non-Hispanic White (70.5%) and city dwellers (77.1%). We noted neither seasonality nor disease category differences for age, race and ethnicity, residence, or environmental factors. Compared to P\/T, DH more frequently had complex chronic conditions (73.1% vs 12.7%, P\u2005&amp;lt;\u2005.001), fever (88.5% vs 52.1%, P\u2005&amp;lt;\u2005.001), fatigue (76.9% vs 46.5%, P\u2005=\u2005.01), vomiting (53.8% vs 25.3%, P\u2005=\u2005.01), anemia (hemoglobin median 10.05 vs 12.5\u00a0g\/dL, P\u2005&amp;lt;\u2005.001), elevated sedimentation rate values (median 31 vs 29\u00a0mm\/h, P\u2005=\u2005.02), blood and urine Histoplasma antigen detection (63.6\/84.6% vs 20.0\/14.8%, P\u2005&amp;lt;\u2005.001), and antifungal treatment (100% vs 70.4%, P\u2005&amp;lt;\u2005.001). Patients with DH had longer antifungal treatment courses (399 vs 84 days, P\u2005&amp;lt;\u2005.001). Exposures were rarely recorded, but the most common was chickens. Chest radiographs were less likely to show adenopathy in DH compared to P\/T (8.7% vs 55%, P\u2005&amp;lt;\u2005.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
