 AB    Between January 1988 and December 1993, 254 cases of systemic mycoses
       were recorded in Thailand. Between 1988 and 1991, the common mycoses
       were aspergillosis, candidosis and cryptococcosis. In 1992,
       cryptococcosis increased to 30 cases with 27 being AIDS related. In
       1993, cryptococcosis increased dramatically to 57 cases with 49 AIDS
       related. Eight cases of penicillosis marneffei occurred in AIDS patients
       in 1993. Skin manifestations of penicillosis marneffei and
       histoplasmosis in AIDS usually manifested as molluscum contagiosum-like
       papulonecrotic lesions. Clinical signs and symptoms could not be
       differentiated from each other.
