Abstract
Reports of a few apparently autochtonous cases of human histoplasmosis and results of epidemiological research suggested the autochthonous p resence of the disease in Italy. Identifying two new histologically do cumented cases of Italian patients, who had never been abroad, and, th e positive results of a histoplasmin reactivity survey carried out in the Province of Cremona, Italy confirmed this possibility.
