 AB    The authors report 4 cases of African histoplasmosis in Zairans. The
       diagnostic was based ou cutaneous (4 patients), bones (3), lymph-nodes
       (2), and bowel-localizations (1) and was confirmed by the presence of
       Histoplasma duboisiis yeasts in cutaneous biopsy (4 patients), in pus of
       abscess or cutaneous lesions (3) and in stools (1). Two HIV
       seronegatives patients had a good outcome with amphotericin B. One
       patient died without any treatment. One HIV-1 and HTLV-1 seropositive
       patient had successful short-term outcome with ketoconazole. Seven
       others cases of association between African histoplasmosis and AIDS are
       noted in the literature. They suggest the opportunistic nature of this
       deep mycosis.
