Serology reagents intended to detect antibody titers or antigens to Histoplasma capsulatum, a yeast-like species of imperfect fungi of the family Moniliaceae. Histoplasma capsulatum is a pathogenic fungus, and infection (histoplasmosis) is frequently asymptomatic but can cause an influenza-like illness or pneumonia. These fungi can affect the lungs, meninges, heart, and other organs in immunocompromised patients.
