title: [Further comment on the importance of microscopy in clinical microbiology. The argument for the diagnosis of the skin manifestations of histoplasmosis and coccidioidomycosis].
abstract: This paper presents two interesting cases: a patient with cutaneous coccidioidomycosis, the first case in Romania, and a female patient with latent histoplasmosis with cutaneous manifestations, periodically reactivated during her pregnancies. The etiological diagnosis problems of these affections in relation with the degrees of competence of the clinical laboratories is discussed. The role of direct microscopic examination in the early and more rapid diagnosis of deep mycoses is underlined.
