My observation is that if C. psittaci ever shows up, they'll say bird store owner. Astute thought/question actually. But I've specifically seen NBME Q somewhere of guy who frequently goes to park to feed pigeons is how he got Histo
@@Mehlmanmedical thanks for the reply! You mentioning failure of a macrolide to treat her inadvertently made me guess it could be Histoplasmosis instead.

Pigeons or caves just = fungal period on usmle
Hi,Mehlman. Thanks for all the content you put up. How do you differentiate a C. Psittaci infection from Histoplasmosis in a question like this?

Correct. Azithro covers atypicals so psittaci is out here
Very good reminder for anti fungal, thanks dear!
Remember: Diseases associated with pigeon droppings include Cryptococcosis, Histoplasmosis and Psittacosis.
Thanks sir
