Résumé : Histoplasmosis is an endemic mycosis. Histoplasma capsulatum, and duboisiï are the pathogenic agents in humans. The disease is reported as endemic in more than 30 countries. Three clinical forms are distinguished; acute, chronic and disseminated. Oral lesions may take on different clinical aspects which are often associated with disseminated histoplasmosis. Disseminated histoplasmosis is frequently diagnosed in immunocompromised hosts. High risk of mortality dictates rapid diagnosis and treatment.
