Histoplasma capsulatum in the presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome. 1977

A M Roth

I demonstrated Histoplasma capsulatum organisms in disciform macular lesions, as well as a peripapillary lesion and peripheral atrophic scars in both eyes and in the lung of a patient with no history of active histoplasmosis. Autopsy findings were compatible with those of the presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome.
