         Occasionally, a few asymptomatic patients will show small scars in lung X-rays. Symptomatic people often develop fever, chills, dry cough, malaise, sweats, and abdominal pains about three to 14 days after exposure. If the disease progresses, symptoms such as weight loss, fatigue, dyspnea, chest pain, and reduced or loss of vision may occur. A sign of progression are patchy infiltrates seen on chest X-rays, usually in the lower lung fields. Other symptoms that can occur, especially in patients that are immunosuppressed, are mouth ulcers, fevers, headaches, confusion, seizures, encephalopathy, and infrequently, death.

         Most people suffering from Histoplasmosis show no symptoms at all. It usually leads to enlargement of liver. Symptoms in case of acute lung infection are tiredness, fever, dry cough and chest pains. It also leads to sores in mouths. Disseminated histoplasmosis can be fatal.
