“…Also consistent with OCH occurring at the later stages of HIV infection, the mean CD4 lymphocyte count was significantly lower in patients with OCH. Similarly, the CD4 lymphocyte count was very low in all published studies: in all cases < 70/mm 3 3,5,9,10 …”

“…Similarly, the CD4 lymphocyte count was very low in all published studies: in all cases < 70/mm 3 . 3,5,9,10 The prognosis of AIDS patients with OCH also suggests that mucocutaneous DH occurs at later stages of HIV infection. Survival at 1 month, reflecting histoplasmosis-related deaths, did not differ significantly between OCH and other presentations of DH; however, survival at 6 months, which reflects deaths from histoplasmosis and from other opportunistic diseases, was lower for patients with OCH.…”

These results suggest that mucocutaneous lesions occur at a later stage of human immunodeficiency virus infection, but are not, in themselves, associated with a higher level of mortality. The excess mortality at 6 months reflects deaths from other complications of severe immunodepression. This study confirms the polymorphism of mucocutaneous lesions, emphasizing the need for systematic testing for Histoplasma in all cases of mucocutaneous lesions in AIDS patients.

“…Histoplasmosis has not been reported as a frequent complication in AIDS patients in Africa. In fact, in a review of the medical literature from the last 10 years we have found only 18 reports of AIDS-associated H. capsulatum infection (7)(8)(9)(10). Nevertheless, it is likely that histoplasmosis often remains undiagnosed due to the difficulty of clinical diagnosis and the usual absence of histologic examination and tissue culture.…”

Histoplasmosis, which is highly endemic in the United States, is rare in Europe, usually imported but sometimes autochthonous. In Africa, histoplasmosis capsulati coexists with “African histoplasmosis”, a characteristic skin infection caused by H. capsulatum var. duboisii. Histoplamosis due to H. capsulatum is one of the 12 secondary infections listed in the surveillance definitions of AIDS. We report the case of a 36‐year‐old black man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who was living in Italy but originally came from Ghana. Histoplasmosis was disseminated with fever and cutaneous manifestations. The diagnosis was demonstrated morphologically based on the presence of yeast, observed by light microscopy, in skin lesions and by identification of H. capsulatum var. capsulatum DNA by nested PCR from a paraffin sample. No clinical reports of histoplamosis capsulati in Ghana have been published until now. The present case stresses the role of immigration of subjects from outside Europe who have been infected in their native country.
