title: [Histoplasmosis].
abstract: Two patients with histoplasmosis who came from the same environment are described. Diagnosis was achieved through biopsy and culture since they had not the common clinical forms but, fundamentally, skin and mucosa lesions. In both cases difficulties in establishing the differential diagnosis with neoplasms, lymphomas, leukosis and tuberculosis were faced. The diagnosis was precised by biopsy and culture. Positive results were obtained from amphotericin B therapy at the doses administered.
