A rare case of American pulmonary histoplasmosis was found incidentally in an immunocompetent patient returning from French Guyana. Diagnosis required video-assisted thoracic surgery due to negative fungal tests, highlighting surgical intervention for imported fungal infections.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Thoracic Surgery

Background:

  • American pulmonary histoplasmosis is an imported fungal infection, often asymptomatic.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging, especially in immunocompetent individuals.

Observation:

  • A chest radiograph incidentally revealed pulmonary histoplasmosis in a patient returning from French Guyana.
  • Standard mycological tests were negative, complicating the diagnostic process.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis was confirmed through wedge excision performed via video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).
  • VATS provided a definitive diagnosis and allowed for tissue sampling.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering imported fungal infections in endemic areas.

  • Minimally invasive thoracic surgery is valuable for diagnosing challenging pulmonary conditions.
  • Surgical intervention can rule out differentials like neoplasm and tuberculosis.
