Abstract: | Disseminated histoplasmosis is associated with depression of T cell-mediated immunity and in some cases anergy. In this report, two patients with disseminated disease are described. Both had a depression of T cell-mediated immunity as well as other abnormalities of immune response. In one, a patient with relapse, a marked depression in the ratio of T helper to T suppressor cells was noted. Neither patient had any predisposing condition known to be associated with disseminated disease. |
