It is most frequently observed in HIV-infected patients living in or traveling to endemic regions. The clinical presentation most often includes fever and weight loss, but may be complicated by comorbid illness such as other opportunistic infections. Diagnosis is best established by histologic examination of peripheral blood smear or bone marrow aspirate, or isolation of the organism in cultures of blood, bone marrow, and respiratory secretions. Serologic examinations may provide supportive diagnostic information. Detection of histoplasma polysaccharide antigen (HPA) in serum or urine may prove to be a promising approach for the rapid diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of DH in AIDS patients. In contrast to immunocompetent hosts, high relapse rates are reported after therapy in AIDS patients. Therefore, initial (induction) therapy is routinely followed by long-term (maintenance) therapy to prevent relapse. Issues regarding the selection, dosage, and duration of therapy, as well as prophylaxis of patients at highest risk, still need to be addressed by controlled clinical trials.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Amphotericin B is presently the drug of choice for induction therapy. Maintenance therapy with either amphotericin B or an oral azole antifungal agent active against H. capsulatum is necessary to prevent relapse. Itraconazole, a triazole antifungal agent, may provide effective alternative therapy for both induction and maintenance treatment of DH.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/106002809302701218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,13]],"date-time":"2017-01-13T22:19:14Z","timestamp":1484345954000},"page":"1510-1518","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Pharmacotherapy of Disseminated Histoplasmosis in Patients with AIDS"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"S.
