Abstract
Histoplasmosis due to H. capsulatum var duboisii developed in a Canadian immigrant 1 yr after his entry into Canada. He lived in Guinea for 2 yr prior to immigration. Lymphatic infection characterized the course of his illness. Clinical and pathologic features of this disease''s distinctive skin and bone manifestations are outlined. The causal agent''s mycologic features are compared with those of H. capsulatum var capsulatum. Treatment with amphotericin B was successful.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
