Abstract
Reports of disseminated Histoplasma infection in African AIDS patients are scanty. In Zimbabwe, 12 patients presented in 1994-2000 with facial nodular/papular cutaneous lesions, which became umbilicated and finally ulcerated. Histology revealed non-granulomatous inflammation and macrophages stuffed with Histoplasma. Recognition of these clinical features may lead to more rapid diagnosis of disseminated histoplasmosis in Africa.
