  • Title: Spinal African histoplasmosis simulating tuberculous spondylitis.
    Author: Musoke F.
    Journal: Afr Health Sci; 2001 Aug; 1(1):28-9. PubMed ID: 12789131.
    Abstract:
    Spinal histoplasmosis is a rare disease condition that must be differentiated from other common inflammatory lesions of the spine such as tuberculosis. A case is presented of a pathologically proven African spinal hisptoplasmosis in a 39-year-old female. Paraplegia and fever were the patient's clinical findings. Cervical plain radiography demonstrated a lytic destructive process of the lower cervical spine with radiographic signs similar to tuberculosis. The surgical management and chemotherapy of histoplasmosis are briefly discussed.
