组织胞浆菌病是美国最常见的地方性呼吸道真菌病。我们报告的临床和影像学表现的情况下，一个孩子与罕见的介绍颈部脓肿和纵隔淋巴结病继发于急性，非播散性组织胞浆菌病。影像学表现常与其他肉芽肿感染（如结核）或肿瘤（如淋巴瘤）相似。组织胞浆菌病应考虑在鉴别诊断的儿童谁提出了扩大纵隔和颈部淋巴结肿大。
Histoplasmosis is the most common endemic respiratory mycosis in the United States. We report the clinical and imaging findings in a case of a child with the rare presentation of a neck abscess and mediastinal lymphadenopathy secondary to acute, non-disseminated histoplasmosis. Imaging findings often mimic other granulomatous infections such as tuberculosis or neoplastic processes such as lymphoma. Histoplasmosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a child who presents with enlarged mediastinal and cervical lymphadenopathy.
