Abstract

Three AIDS patients are reported, 2 European and 1 African. All 3 developed Histoplasma capsulatum infection while living in Africa. Two developed a pulmonary infiltrate, and 2 had skin lesions. One patient was successfully treated with itraconazole, 400 mg daily; in a second patient, itraconazole was partially successful; the third patient was lost to follow-up before adequate treatment could be started. Histoplasma infection is probably an often undiagnosed complication in African AIDS patients.

摘要

报告了3例艾滋病患者，其中2例为欧洲人，1例为非洲人。所有3例患者在非洲生活期间均发生了荚膜组织胞浆菌感染。2例出现肺部浸润，2例有皮肤病变。1例患者接受伊曲康唑治疗，每日400毫克，治疗成功；第二例患者使用伊曲康唑治疗部分成功；第三例患者在开始充分治疗前失访。组织胞浆菌感染可能是非洲艾滋病患者中一种常未被诊断出的并发症。
