Their pulmonary presentations are variable, and diagnosis is often delayed as they can mimic other infectious and non-infectious causes of pulmonary disease. Delay in diagnosis can lead to unnecessary antibiotic use, repeat hospitalizations, and increased morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis of endemic fungal pulmonary infections often relies on multiple diagnostic tests including culture, tissue histopathology, antigen assays, and antibody assays. Due to the increased use of immunosuppressive agents and the widening geographic ranges where these infections are being found, the prevalence of endemic fungal infections is increasing. Physicians need to be aware of the clinical manifestations of pulmonary infections due to endemic fungal in order to ensure that the proper diagnostic work up is obtained promptly. A high index of suspicion is particularly important in patients with suspected pulmonary infections who have failed to improve despite antibiotics in the appropriate setting. We present a review diagnostic testing for pulmonary infections due to endemic mycoses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics11050856","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,11]],"date-time":"2021-05-11T02:14:05Z","timestamp":1620699245000},"page":"856","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Diagnosis of Pulmonary Infections Due to Endemic Fungi"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Victoria","family":"Poplin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, University of Kansas, Kansas City, KS 66160, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1572-295X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Clarissa","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, University of Kansas, Kansas City, KS 66160, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dominique","family":"Milsap","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Kansas, Kansas City, KS 66160, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lauren","family":"Zabel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Kansas, Kansas City, KS 66160, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9431-8938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nathan C.","family":"Bahr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, University of Kansas, Kansas City, KS 66160, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"283","DOI":"10.1159\/000489501","article-title":"Diagnosis and Management of Systemic Endemic Mycoses Causing Pulmonary Disease","volume":"96","author":"Salzer","year":"2018","journal-title":"Respiration"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"403","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ccm.2017.04.004","article-title":"Clinical Perspectives in the Diagnosis and Management of Histoplasmosis","volume":"38","author":"Azar","year":"2017","journal-title":"Clin.
