Prevalence of histoplasmosis in a midsouthern population.
We found a histoplasmin reactivity rate of 69% in a selected population of normal midsouthern adults. This prevalence is similar to that previously reported and has major clinical implications for area residents who are infected with human immunodeficiency virus and are at risk for disseminated disease with Histoplasma capsulatum.
