People with HIV or AIDS are significantly more susceptible to the disease; in the past 60 years, almost 40% of new cases in Africa have been people with HIV. Histoplasmosis is commonly confused for tuberculosis, due to their similar symptoms. The difference is that histoplasmosis tends to have more symptoms in HIV patients than tuberculosis does.
