  • Title: Histoplasma capsulatum. Isolation from an Australian cave environment and from a patient.
    Author: Hunt PJ, Harden TJ, Hibbins M, Pritchard RC, Muir DB, Gardner FJ.
    Journal: Med J Aust; 1984 Sep 01; 141(5):280-3. PubMed ID: 6472165.
    Abstract:
    The fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, although commonly found in bat-frequented caves in many countries, has not previously been isolated from that environment in Australia. This report describes the isolation of H. capsulatum from several sources, including cave soil, the organs of mice exposed to the cave environment, and the sputum of a patient clinically diagnosed as having acute pulmonary histoplasmosis after exposure to the cave environment.
