A âNew Beetleâ, based on the floorplan of the VW Golf, the Beetleâs replacement, went on sale in 1998, although this was always something of a mechanical dress-up doll rather than the real thing.
Symptoms. Several types of histoplasmosis exist. The mildest form produces no signs or symptoms, but severe infections can be life-threatening. When signs and symptoms do occur, they usually appear three to 17 days after exposure and may include: 1  Fever. 2  Chills. 3  Headache. 4  Muscle aches. 5  Dry cough. 6  Chest discomfort.
Symptoms of this infection vary greatly, but the disease affects primarily the lungs. Occasionally, other organs are affected; this is called disseminated histoplasmosis, and it can be fatal if left untreated. Histoplasmosis is common among AIDS patients because of their suppressed immunity. Histoplasma capsulatum is found in soil, often associated with decaying bat guano or bird droppings.
