AB The authors report two cases of disseminated histoplasmosis occurring in
HIV-infected patients living in French Guiana. The first case was an
acute disseminated histoplasmosis with a rapid fatal evolution. The
second case was diagnosed on a mucosal localisation, and improved under
itraconazole therapy. These two cases show the diversity of the clinical
course of this opportunistic infection. The authors focus on the
difficulty of the diagnosis and the need for direct microscopic
examination to identify histoplasma and to enable a swift therapeutic
intervention.
