Abstract
The existence of an area in Europe in which histoplasmosis is endemic was revealed by the isolation of Histoplasma capsulatum from soil. The soil specimen was collected in a chicken yard on a farm near Bologna, Italy. The Emilia-Romagna region had been selected for study because several, apparently autochthonous, human cases of histoplasmosis had originated there.Entities:
