Two patients with presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome developed optic disc edema. In both cases the edema resolved without residual impairment of visual function. Although peripapillary changes in ocular histoplasmosis are common, optic disc edema is rare. The pathogenesis of the edema is
A case of laryngeal histoplasmosis is reported. This laryngeal mycosis was diagnosed by histological identification of intracellular hyphae of Histoplasma capsulatum. Laryngoscopy revealed edema, erythema and leukoplakia of the righ vocal cord. Itrakonazole treatment was successful. The relevant
A 4-year-old female thoroughbred race horse died of acute peritonitis caused by necrotizing granulomatous duodenitis. Yersinia enterocolitica was immunohistochemically demonstrated in macrophages in granulomas developed in the duodenum, lung, liver and abdominal lymph nodes. The yeast-like fungi
OBJECTIVE
Spinal intramedullary histoplasmosis is an extremely rare condition. We report a case of isolated intramedullary histoplasmosis as the initial manifestation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
METHODS
A 27-year-old man presented with a rapidly progressive paraparesis. Magnetic
A disease characterized by delayed growth, anemia, abnormal feathers, and leg paralysis occurred among chickens inoculated with Marek's disease vaccine over a period from spring to fall in 1974. These chickens were recognized among flocks inoculated with the vaccine produced by two vaccine makers.
OBJECTIVE
To present a retrospective analysis of clinical and endoscopic features of 4 cases of immunocompetent hosts with intestinal histoplasmosis (IH).

Gastrointestinal histoplasmosis (GH) is a well-described albeit uncommon disease. It is found almost exclusively in the immunocompromised host, especially those with untreated HIV and low CD4 counts. Presentation with intestinal perforation is seen mostly commonly in the colon. We present
We describe a 14-year-old girl with hyperimmunoglobulin E (Job) syndrome who presented with fatigue, abdominal pain, fever, and weight loss. Endoscopic examination of the terminal ileum revealed ulceration, edema, and erythema. Histopathologic findings of the terminal ileum demonstrated
A 3 ½-year-old previously healthy female experienced an episode of sudden unresponsiveness witnessed by her mother. Upon arrival to the local hospital, imaging studies of the still unresponsive child revealed severe bilateral "flash" pulmonary edema and diffuse anoxic brain injury. Aggressive

OBJECTIVE
To prospectively monitor intraocular pressure (IOP) and gonioscopy changes within the first month after a single 4-mg intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (IVK) (Kenalog, Briston-Meyers Squibb, New York).
METHODS
Prospective comparative interventional case series.

Fibrosing mediastinitis is underdiagnosed because of the nonspecific character of the presenting symptoms. The endobronchial findings obtained via flexible bronchoscopy are not defined in the literature. We describe 3 cases of fibrosing mediastinitis, most likely caused by histoplasmosis. All 3
