It has been shown that the endemic center of histoplasmosis coincides with the region of high incidence of (1) pulmonary calcifications,1and (2) histoplasmin skin reactors.2Our studies in Ohio3, 4, 5have shown that within the state there is a definite pattern for proved cases of histoplasmosis that coincides with the distribution of histoplasmin reactors and pulmonary calcifications. This demonstrated correlation of skin test, pulmonary calcifications and proved cases suggests that the histoplasmin...Bibliography1.
