Text: Diagnosis of histoplasmosis based upon detection of antigen. Antigen detection may be useful in acute disease, especially in individuals also infected with HIV, who frequently have the disseminated form of histoplasmosis without detectable antibodies to the fungus. In chronic disease, antigen may not be detected due to the low fungal burden.
Methodology: Enzyme immunoassay (EIA)
