Abstract
in English, Spanish

Histoplasmosis is a cosmopolitan mycosis caused by Histoplasma capsulatum. It is endemic of Río de la Plata's riverbed and in immunocompromised patients may be deadly. We present two patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus diagnosed with subacute disseminated histoplasmosis, which is a marker of Acquired Human Immunodeficiency Syndrome. This situation increases the morbimortality, thus forcing clinicians to diagnose and treat rapidly in order to avoid fatal outcomes.

La histoplasmosis es una micosis cosmopolita causada por el Histoplasmacapsulatum. Es un hongo endémico de la cuenca del Río de La Plata que si afecta a inmunosuprimidos puede ser mortal. Presentamos dos pacientes con Virus de Inmunodeficiencia Humana con diagnóstico de histoplasmosis diseminada subaguda. Esta situación los cataloga en estadío de Síndrome de Inmunodeficiencia Adquirida y requiere pronta acción médica para evitar complicaciones.
