Popis:	We report four imported cases of progressive disseminated histoplasmosis (PDH) due to Histoplasma capsulatum variety capsulatum in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-infected patients from West Africa. This report highlights the need to consider diagnosis of PDH among patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who originate from West Africa and present with a prolonged febrile illness and very low CD4 count.
