A diagnosis of this condition is only possible by culturing the fungi or by demonstrating them on histological sections.

The histoplasmin skin test is usually positive in individuals with this disease.

Within about 3 weeks of the onset of illness antibodies usually develop. These antibodies are best detected by the complement-fixation test.
