Molecular assay reagents intended to identify Histoplasma capsulatum, a yeast-like species of imperfect fungi of the family Moniliaceae, by detecting specific nucleic-acid information (e.g., DNA, RNA) of the target microorganism. Histoplasma capsulatum fungi may cause histoplasmosis, a mycotic influenza-like infection or pneumonia; the disease may progress by invading the lungs, meninges, heart, and peritoneum of immunocompromised patients.
