Histoplasma capsulatum histoplasmosis occurs frequently in endemic areas and with the AIDS outbreak, it appears as an opportunistic fungus involved in disseminated disease. We report the clinical, biological and treatment features of seven cases diagnosed in the CISIH of the Eastern part of Paris. Clinically, four patients were suffering from pulmonary symptoms, in three cases digestive disorders and in three cutaneous lesions. In all cases, the mycologic diagnosis was necessary. Amphotericin B and itraconazole were used as treatment for five patients (two died before the diagnosis was completed). Among these five subjects, four died (death was attributed to histoplasmosis in only one case). These observations emphasize the importance of this infection in HIV-infected patients coming from endemic areas.
