Abstract
In a literature review we found 22 published cases of disseminated histoplasmosis in patients with AIDS in Spain since 1988. All but two were men under 50 years old. Nineteen had been born or had lived in endemic areas. The diagnosis of histoplasmosis was established by culture of bone marrow biopsy in 10 cases. Itraconazole was introduced as a second drug after amphotericin B in ten of the thirteen patients who survived.
