AB Histoplasmin skin tests were conducted on a student population in Crema,
Po Valley, Italy. In this geographical area two autochtonal cases of
disseminated histoplasmosis occurred in HIV-negative men. In the last
year we tested 776 senior high school students, mean age 18 years, 335
males and 441 females. Histopalsmin skin sensitivity was 1.23%, with a
mean area of induration of 5.78 mm. All subjects but one had never been
abroad. This preliminary survey confirms the possibility of autochtonal
histoplasmal infection in the Po Valley, Italy.
