ACUTE DISSEMINATED HISTOPLASMOSIS IN CHILDREN

Report of Three Cases

JOHN H. KNEIDEL M.D.1 and HAROLD SEGALL M.D.2

1 The Department of Radiology of the Indianapolis General Hospital, Indianapolis, Ind.
2 The Department of Pediatrics of the Indianapolis General Hospital, Indianapolis, Ind.

Three cases of proved histoplasmosis, two in infants and one in a child of three years, are presented.

The mode of onset, clinical symptomatology, laboratory and roentgenographic findings in these three cases are presented in detail.

All three cases terminated fatally indicating that in the well developed clinical case of histoplasmosis the prognosis appears hopeless. No effective fungicide is as yet available to combat this disease.
