[A man with thoracic pain after visiting the tropics].

A 25-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department with thoracic pain and coughing after travelling through South America. Radiologic work-up revealed diffuse multifocal consolidations surrounded by a ground-glass halo and thoracic lymphadenopathy. A urine antigen test was positive for Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus that is endemic in South America and which causes a severe pulmonary infection in 5% of the infected patients.
