title: [Disseminated histoplasmosis in an HIV seropositive patient].
abstract: The authors report a case of disseminated pulmonary histoplasmosis in an HIV positive patient who had travelled in countries where the disease was endemic. The principle clinical characteristics of the disease are reviewed including the radiology and the methods of treatment particularly in the forms occurring in this context. Finally the authors underline the difficulty in the differential diagnosis with tuberculosis.
