Abstract EN
Histoplasma capsulatum infection is a rare complication in the allogeneic stem cell transplant patients.
Minimal guidance exists on how to appropriately manage histoplasmosis in these patients.
We report a patient who developed Histoplasma pneumonia while receiving voriconazole prophylaxis at a therapeutic trough level.
The patient experienced significant clinical improvement after initiation of itraconazole pharmacotherapy.
We recommend a lower threshold for evaluation for histoplasmosis in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients who live in endemic regions, regardless of their antifungal prophylactic regimen.
