Endemic mycosis	2005		.txt	text/plain	9004	571	43	All three illnesses occur in normal hosts, although histoplasmosis and coccidioidomycosis are also major opportunistic mycoses in patients with depressed cell-mediated immunity, and especially in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) [4] , [5] . Histoplasmosis, blastomycosis and coccidioidomycosis are major T-cell opportunistic infections, as demonstrated by the very aggressive course seen in patients with AIDS, in whom T-cell deficiency is most severe. The most severe form of progressive disseminated histoplasmosis (PDH) occurs in patients with AIDS with profound T-cell dysfunction [21] . By that time, most patients have either recovered or have required other more invasive methods of diagnosis because of rapidly worsening disease There are two ways to make a rapid diagnosis of PDH, sampling and examination of likely infected tissue with the use of special stains and the use of the ultrasensitive assay for fungal antigens.	./cache/cord-016572-6fu5s89c.txt	./txt/cord-016572-6fu5s89c.txt
