title: [Histological aspects of mycotic infections in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)].
abstract: After some general epidemiological data concerning mycoses occurring during the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), the role of the pathologist in the diagnosis of mycotic diseases is reviewed. Histological methods and criteria allowing fungal identification in tissues are described. Changes in the inflammatory reaction in contact with mycoses arising in these immunodeficient hosts are reported. The various mycoses observed in HIV positive patients are then reviewed as well as their morphological features and their various sites.
