Abstract excerpt
Histoplasmosis usually occurs in specific endemic areas. Sporadic cases have also been reported in mainland China. Here, we described an indigenous case of disseminated histoplasmosis.

Combined with previous studies, it revealed high genetic diversity among Chinese H. capsulatum isolates.
