Deep-seated fungal infections with unusual clinical courses developed in three previously healthy patients following jejunoleal bypass surgery. Pulmonary blastomycosis disseminated and then relapsed despite repeated courses of amphotericin B in a 40-year-old man; chronic progressive pulmonary histoplasmosis developed in a 38-year-old nonsmoking man; and histoplasmosis of mediastinal nodes became symptomatic in a 32-year-old man. Cell-mediated immunity was evaluated in two patients; no defects were found. However, male patients were found to be at a significantly higher risk of infection than female patients (3/32 vs 0/101; P less than .02). A significantly higher percentage of prebypass weight was lost by the infected men than the uninfected men (P less than .05). Accelerated weight loss clearly preceded the onset of the infection in two of the patients. Jejunoileal bypass surgery should be regarded as a risk factor for serious fungal infection, especially in men with accelerated weight loss.
