Resumen:
We developed a seminested PCR for the diagnosis of histoplasmosis that amplifies a portion of theHistoplasma capsulatum H antigen gene. This assay is highly sensitive and specific, being able to detect genomicmaterial corresponding to less than 10 yeast cells without cross-reaction against other bacterial or fungalpathogens.
