Histoplasmosis...

is a lung infection caused by a fungus. It is usually caught by breathing dry, dusty air that is contaminated by bird or rodent droppings, such as attic crawl spaces and caves. You can die from it if untreated, and it can involve other organs. Symptoms are...a general ill feeling, chest pains/discomfort and a dry cough.
Antifungal medications are available.
