Blastomycosis, Histoplasmosis, and Coccidioidomycosis in Outpatient Community-Acquired Pneumonia
In this cohort study of patients with unspecified CAP, testing rates for blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, and histoplasmosis were low in many locations. Increased awareness of these fungal infections may help increase timely testing for fungal diseases among patients with CAP, decrease health care utilization and inappropriate antibiotic use, and improve patient outcomes.
