| Abstract: | Summary A selected group of 525 individuals with pulmonary diseases, granulomas and other medical conditions was tested for histoplasmin and blastomycin dermal reactions. No positive results were observed. Few doubtful positive reactions were recorded (3 to histoplasmin and 7 to blastomycin). None of the patients with chronic cutaneous granulomas exhibited any reaction.Although the number of subjects studied is small, these preliminry findings suggest the probable absence of histoplasmosis and blastomycosis in Egypt. |
