Abstract

We carried out a soil sampling survey in September 2008 in central Cayenne, French Guiana, using molecular methods to assess the presence of the dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. Four of the 31 samples collected (12.9 %) tested positive by PCR, with confirmation of the result by DNA sequencing. H. capsulatum is therefore present in urban environments in French Guiana. These results provide additional support for the primary prophylaxis of AIDS-related histoplasmosis in French Guiana.

摘要

我们于 2008 年 9 月在法属圭亚那卡宴市中心进行了一项土壤采样调查，使用分子方法评估二相真菌荚膜组织胞浆菌的存在情况。采集的 31 个样本中有 4 个（12.9%）通过 PCR 检测呈阳性，DNA 测序结果证实了这一结果。荚膜组织胞浆菌因此存在于法属圭亚那的城市环境中。这些结果为法属圭亚那开展与艾滋病相关的组织胞浆菌病的一级预防提供了更多支持。
