OCULAR HISTOPLASMOSIS.

Case reports of three residents of Ontario with clinical histoplasmic chorioretinitis are presented. The diagnosis was made on the basis of the clinical appearance, the presence of calcified lesions in the chest, a negative skin test to tuberculin, and a positive skin test to toxoplasmin. All patients were treated with intravenous amphotericin B. Except for transitory elevation of blood urea nitrogen, there were no serious complications from the drug and in all cases the lesions in the eyes were improved. Histologic or cultural proof of the presence of fungus in the eye is not available, but clinical and laboratory findings can combine to point to the diagnosis of histoplasmosis. In such cases, since vision is at stake, treatment with amphotericin B should be considered.
