TI  - Oral histoplasmosis: a case report.
PG  - 73-5
AB  - We report a case of biopsy-proven histoplasmosis in an 81-year-old man with mouth 
      ulcers. The initial infection was probably contracted whilst he was a prisoner of 
      war in Sumatra, and was reactivated during intercurrent illness with congestive 
      cardiac failure and oral corticosteroid treatment for idiopathic 
      thrombocytopaenic purpura. Of particular note is the latent period of 50 years, 
      and a positive cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (cANCA) titre.
