Hi,

I understand your concern. Itraconazole is one type of antifungal medication that's commonly used to treat histoplasmosis. Depending on the severity of the infection the course of treatment can range from 3 months to 1 year.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
