The included studies reported 120 samples from patients with PCM tested for Histoplasma antigen, presenting an overall cross-reactivity of 51.67% and 17 cases of PCM in transplant recipients. CONCLUSIONS: The galactomannan urinary antigen developed to diagnose histoplasmosis can cross react with PCM, which may represent a concern in countries where both mycoses overlap.
