[Disseminated histoplasmosis in children]. 1980

E Jiménez, and M Navarrete, and E Mohs, and J M Carrillo, and C Lizano

Clinical features and treatment evaluation of 38 children with disseminated histoplasmosis were studied. Thirty-six cases presented the severe form and two of them showed the mild chronic type. A higher incidence of this disease was found in infants (65%) and in severe malnutrition (68%) and lethality in the overall group was 61%. Patients died either because they did not receive specific treatment or were given amphotericin for less than 15 days. These figures stress the importance of this treatment in disseminated histoplasmosis.
