Fungus found in heart transplant patient after 30 years
A 70-year-old man who underwent a heart transplant in 1986 was diagnosed with a fungal infection after 30 years, US-based doctors have reported. Symptoms of Histoplasmosis, also known as Cave disease, usually appear between 3-17 days of inhaling the fungi. Doctors concluded the patient was susceptible to it as he was on long-term immunosuppressants so that the heart wasn't rejected.
