The findings obtained from histological examination of a biopsy specimen enabled a case of African histoplasmosis to be first recorded in the USSR. The disease was detected in an African student who had had a long-term latent period. The diagnosis was culturally and clinically verified. The problems of the histological differential diagnosis of African histoplasmosis are also discussed.
