No, It is histoplasmosis.

Most of the people that I've heard of who got it were doing house renovation or cleanups where there had been bats or birds. I've also heard of farmers who got it from working around chickens. A woman who supervises our local wild-bird care center got it. And an acquaintance's son got it while living in an apartment in the city where pigeons were always roosting on the window sill.

In its less acute form, it causes lung disease, but in it's most serious form, it causes liver failure, etc...

This is a good factsheet containing more information.
