RESUMO
Active histoplasmosis is rarely diagnosed in Great Britain. We present the illness records of three patients with disseminated histoplasmosis. In two patients the infection was discovered at necropsy and resulted in caseous destruction of the adrenal glands, and in one of these there was also fungal invasion of the liver and wall of the aorta. The third patient had Addison's disease and also a chronic tongue ulcer from which the fungus was cultured by biopsy.
