Study Identifies Soil Fungus That Causes Lung Infections Across the US

Study Identifies Soil Fungus , That Causes Lung Infections , Across the US.

Gizmodo reports that a new study suggests that an illness-causing fungus called histoplasma may now be found in the soil of nearly all U.S. states.

Gizmodo reports that a new study suggests that an illness-causing fungus called histoplasma may now be found in the soil of nearly all U.S. states.

According to researchers, doctors may be missing diagnoses of the deadly infection due to outdated risk maps.

Previously, histoplasma, or histo, was believed to be found in the soil of central and eastern states, mostly in Ohio and the Mississippi River valley.

However, the team behind the new study suggest that those beliefs were based on research conducted back in the 1950s and 60s.

.

The team looked at over 45 million Medicare records from 2007 to 2016 and found evidence of histo in almost every state.

In 48 out of 50 states, the team found that histo was responsible for clinically relevant rates of illness in at least one county.

Fungal infections are much more common than people realize, and they’re spreading, Andrej Spec, Study author and associate professor of medicine at Washington University in St.

The scientific community has underinvested in studying and developing treatments for fungal infections.

I think that’s beginning to change, but slowly, Andrej Spec, Study author and associate professor of medicine at Washington University in St.

Exposure to histo and other pathogens can occur through activities that disrupt the soil, like farming, landscaping or construction.

It’s important for the medical community to realize these fungi are essentially everywhere these days and that we need to take them seriously and include them in considering diagnoses, Andrej Spec, Study author and associate professor of medicine at Washington University in St.
