Histoplasma duboisii and Large Forms of Histoplasma capsulatum

Abstract

SUMMARYWe might admit that H. duboisii is a giant type of H. capsulatum, but there are no reasons to regard H. duboisii as nothing more than the large forms of H. capsulatum recently described in necrotic tissues and in tissue explants. Both parasites have their individuality and so far as we can judge H. duboisii is a species distinct from H. capsulatum.
