Abstract: An epidemiological study for histoplasmosis coccidioidomycosis and cryptococcosis made in five areas of the province of Córdoba is presented. The data obtained showed a global positivity of 41.1% for histoplasmin 26.7% for coccidioidin and 14.1% for cryptococcin. In some areas, the Rio III basin and Traslasierra, the histoplasmosis infection indexes were much higher, 53,3% and 73.1% respectively. The index of positive skin tests with Cryptococcus antigen in Traslasierra was also very high: 31.9%.

“…The endemic area includes the semidesert regions from Puna to Patagonia. 51,52 Few coccidioidin skin test surveys have been carried out in Argentina, and thus the magnitude of infections in the endemic areas is unknown. In Santiago del Estero, a skin test survey by Negroni et al revealed a prevalence of 19% positive reactions among 2,213 children aged 6 to 16 years.…”
