Histoplasma capsulatum in vessels of the choroid.

In a 3-year-old boy disseminated histoplasmosis was recognized from a liver biopsy. The patient died shortly afterwards and had foci of the disease in liver, spleen, and kidneys. Large numbers of yeast cells of Histoplasma capsulatum were found within histiocytes in other organs including the eye. This rare finding is remarkable in view of the search for Histoplasma capsulatum in the syndrome known as "so-called histoplasmosis of the choroid."

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis and histoplasmosis: report of three cases.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP), in addition to acute generalized histoplasmosis, was found at autopsy of three adult males, 23, 51, and 52 years of age. All three patients became ill in the same region of Venezuela, south of Lake Maracaibo, an area considered highly endemic for histoplasmosis. The PAP may be due to an environmental factor.

[Pseudotumoral eosinophilic ileocolitis of parasitic origen].

Two cases of pseudotumoral eosinophilic ileocolitis are described. Apparently there are two forms: the first produced by nematodes with vasculitis and the other one produced by microfilaria with eosinophilic granulomatas. Similar observations are published in Costa Rica. Clinical importance, location and differential are discussed.
