Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection that commonly affects people who handle or disturb bird and bat droppings. Working part-time for a poultry farm could expose the patient to the fungus, which can be found in soil contaminated with bird or bat droppings. The other options are unrelated to the cause of histoplasmosis.
