This is the clearest explanation I've come across

Thanks for giving a brief idea about it. It is very helpful.

What is the procedure of pulmonary histoplasmosis using chest x-ray?

[@BiologyProfessor]

I found this from thoracic.org: A chest X-ray (CXR) may show that you have an infection, but histoplasmosis can look like many other conditions such as pneumonia, lung cancer or tuberculosis. A sample of your blood, sputum (phlegm) or other body fluids can be cultured to see if the fungus grows in the sample. However, it can take up to 4 weeks for the fungus to “grow.” Therefore, cultures are not a fast way to find out if you are infected with histoplasma. If you are having severe symptoms, a biopsy of lung tissue might be done because it is the fastest and most certain way of finding out if you have histoplasmosis. A biopsy of lung tissue can be done either by a bronchoscopy or a surgical procedure to remove a small sample of your lung tissue.

what is blood picture of histoplasmosis especially lymphocyte

[@BiologyProfessor]

There are a bunch if you Google it...

Is this when you are constantly pulling that gunk out of your eyes all day long?

Do the yeast cells multiply in the body?

[@BiologyProfessor]

Yes. Histoplasma yeast forms are engulfed by phagocytes (like macrcophages), multiply within that cell and then get released upon lysis of the phagocytes.

[@kvomtv3439]

Yes they do. . To know more labweeks.com/histoplasma-capsulatum/

[@laurahilton7493]

Yes and sugar is their food source! Get rid of it and anything that converts itself into glucose in the body and you will get rid of histo. I'm not a dr but a living example of this!
