10. Treatment
Treatment for histoplasmosis will usually not be considered necessary because of the mildness of the symptoms in the majority of cases. If the patient’s symptoms are on the more severe side, however, then treatment should be deemed a necessity and a medical emergency.
Thankfully, treating the condition is relatively easy and effective. Treatment is even available for disseminated histoplasmosis, and it will likely involve antifungal drugs. It is likely that more than one variety can be used. Depending on the severity of the condition, it might be necessary for the patient to continue taking medication for a year or so.
