Canine and feline histoplasmosis: clinical signs, diagnostic methods and treatment
Histoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease affecting a wide variety of animals caused by Histoplasma capsulatum, a dimorphic fungus endemic in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions of America and Africa. Soil with abundant organic material, bird droppings and bat guano, constitutes the ecological niche of this microorganism. In this literature review the issue of canine and feline histoplasmosis is addressed, referring mainly to direct and indirect diagnostic methods employed for identification. Clinical manifestations characteristic of each stage of the disease and their treatments are described; also, a diagnostic algorithm is presented.

La histoplasmosis es una enfermedad zoonótica, causada por el hongo dimórfico Histoplasma capsulatum, endémica en zonas tropicales, subtropicales y templadas de América y África. Suelos con abundante materia orgánica, excremento de aves y guano de murciélagos constituyen el nicho ecológico de este microorganismo. Esta micosis puede afectar a gran variedad de mamíferos. En esta revisión bibliográfica se aborda el tema de la histoplasmosis canina y felina, haciendo referencia, principalmente, a los métodos diagnósticos directos e indirectos empleados para su identificación. Además, se describen las manifestaciones clínicas características de cada fase de la enfermedad y su tratamiento y se presenta un algoritmo de diagnóstico.
