::::* Note (1): Substitution of another lipid formulation at a dosage of 5.0 mg/kg qd may be preferred in some patients because of cost or tolerability
::::* Note (2): The deoxycholate formulation of Amphotericin B (0.7–1.0 mg/kg qd) is an alternative to a lipid formulation in patients who are at a low risk for nephrotoxicity

::::* Note (2): Blood levels of itraconazole should be obtained to ensure adequate drug exposure
::::* Note (3): Antigen levels should be measured during therapy and for 12 months after therapy is ended to monitor for relapse. Persistent low-level antigenuria may not be a reason to prolong treatment in patients who have completed appropriate therapy and have no evidence of active infection.
::::* Note (4): Progressive disseminated histoplasmosis is fatal without therapy and treatment with either Amphotericin B or Itraconazole is highly effective. Among patients with AIDS and moderately severe to severe disseminated histoplasmosis, the rate of response was higher (88% vs. 64%) and the mortality rate was lower (2% vs. 13%) among recipients of liposomal amphotericin B (3 mg/kg qd for 1–2 weeks) than among recipients of the deoxycholate formulation.

::* 1.8 '''Performance Measures'''
::*If type 2 hypersensitivity to penicillin :
::::* Preferred regimen: [[Itraconazole]] is the preferred azole for initial therapy for patients with mild-to-moderate histoplasmosis and as step-down therapy after receipt of [[Amphotericin B]]
:*Preferred regimen (1): [[Cefdinir]] 600 mg / day divided q12h or q24h for 5-7 days
::::* Note: When other azole agents are used, the medical record should document the specific reasons that Itraconazole was not used and why other azoles were used.
:*Preferred regimen (2): [[Cefpodoxime]] 200 mg PO q12h for 5-7 days
::::* 14.1 '''Severe or moderately severe histoplasmosis'''
:*Preferred regimen (3): [[Cefuroxime axetil]] 500 mg PO q12h for 5-7 days
::::* Preferred regimen: [[Amphotericin B]]
::::* Note: When Amphotericin B is used the patient's electrolyte level renal function and blood cell count should be monitored several times per week and documented in the medical record.
::::* Note (2): Itraconazole drug levels should be measured during the first month in patients with disseminated or chronic pulmonary histoplasmosis and these levels should be documented in the medical record as well as the physician's response to levels that are too low.
::::* Note (3): Itraconazole should not be given to patients receiving contraindicated medications (i.e., pimozide, quinidine, dofetilide, lovastatin, simvastatin, midazolam, and triazolam). Reasons for deviation from this practice should be documented in the medical record.
