We report an epidemic of acute pulmonary histoplasmosis which occurred in February 1994 among a group of 24 persons after they had once or twice visited a cave in New Caledonia. This study describes the physical and laboratory findings, which lead to the diagnosis of histoplasmosis. Each test was
A 71-year-old white man presented with a large ulcerated lesion which extended to the facial and palatal aspects of the maxillary left first and second bicuspids. A biopsy was made because the lesion appeared to be carcinomatous. It proved to be benign but it was positive for histoplasmosis.
Acquired perforating dermatosis (APD) is a rare disorder characterized by transepidermal elimination of contents from dermis with minimal disruption of surrounding structures, believed to be due to altered expression of dermal proteins. Its occurrence in patients with systemic mycosis has never been

BACKGROUND
Pulmonary histoplasmosis is a fungal infection caused by histoplasma capsulatum, rarely diagnosed in non endemic areas and/or immunocompromised patients. Complication of pulmonary histoplasmosis with bronchocentric granulomatosis is extremely rare.
METHODS
A 48-year-old man with prolonged
Histoplamosis is the most common primary systemic mycosis in the USA and is becoming more common as an opportunistic infection in HIV patients worldwide. In children the rate of asymptomatic infection is high. However, in infants with an immature immunological system, disseminated disease may occur.
In immunocompromised patients, histoplasmosis may present as disseminated disease. We present a 52-year-old Caucasian male with symptoms of dyspepsia, postprandial epigastric pain, nausea, and nonbloody diarrhea. Upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopies were suspicious for inflammatory bowel
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology, characterized by an immunological disorder with accumulation of activated lymphocytes and macrophages in all the organs and apparatus. The intrathoracic lymphnodes and the lung remain the most common sites of such disease. The
Disseminated cases of histoplasmosis in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) are rarely reported from India. Most of these cases report isolation of this fungus from the bone marrow, lymph node aspirate, spleenic aspirate, and biopsies. We report isolation of Histoplasma capsulatum from the

Reported investigations were identified from MEDLINE
The pattern of amphotericin B toxicity was assessed retrospectively in a group of 20 children with cancer who had received one or more courses of the drug for treatment of systemic fungal infection. Azotemia was the most frequent complication, developing during 23 of 24 treatment courses. Other
The pharmacology, microbiology, pharmacokinetics, clinical use, adverse effects, dosage and administration, and drug interactions of ketoconazole are reviewed. Ketoconazole, a new orally active antifungal agent, is an imidazole derivative structurally related to miconazole and clotrimazole. It
Erythrodermic psoriasis (EP) is the most serious type of psoriasis with high morbidity and mortality. First-line recommended therapies for EP, cyclosporine and infliximab have significant adverse effects. Cyclosporine increases the risk of hypertension, leucopenia, infections and renal failure.
Medical laboratory tests are becoming more reliable with increased specificity and sensitivity, leading to their use as definitive diagnostic tests for many medical conditions. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests are convenient, sensitive, and standardly used for rapid detection and
