Cytological and Histopathological Spectrum of Histoplasmosis: 15 Years of Experience in French Guiana

Abstract

From the pathologist perspective, this is the largest series to date showing that digestive involvement was the most frequent, usually with a tuberculoid form and a greater load of <i>Histoplasma</i>. With awareness and expertise, cytology and pathology are widely available methods that can give life-saving results in a short time to help orient clinicians facing a potentially fatal infection requiring prompt treatment.
