Abstract
The peribronchial lymph nodes of 150 dogs from the province of Bologna were cultured for human pathogenic fungi. Hosplasma capsulatum was recovered from 2 dogs. This finding, coupled with an earlier isolation of H. capsulatum from a chicken yard soil sample from the same region, indicates that an endemic area for H. capsulatum exists in northern Italy. Los ganglios linfaticos peribronquiales de 150 perros de la provincia de Bologna fueron cultivados para la búsqueda de hongos patógenos. Histoplasma capsulatum se aislo de 2 perros. Este hecho unido a aislamientos anteriores de H. capsulatum de muestras de suelo de un gallinero, de la misma region, indican que existe un area endémica de H. capsulatum en el norte de Italia.
