The diagnosis was confirmed by positive serology. Despite therapy, the patient died shortly after. In the following days, the mycology laboratory managed to grow Histoplasma capsulatum, thus confirming the diagnosis of invasive histoplasmosis in AIDS. The case highlights the need for a high index of suspicion for the diagnosis of endemic mycosis outside of endemic areas, and the necessity of expanding access to tests. Even if antigen/antibody tests are not available, blood smear has worldwide feasibility and allows a rapid diagnosis.

Despite the global decline in pediatric HIV infections, infants in sub-Saharan Africa still acquire HIV infection through inappropriate feeding. The aim of the study was to compare knowledge and predictors of infant feeding behavior between mothers living with HIV and controls of unknown HIV status in Gombe, northeast Nigeria. A cross-section of clinic-based samples of 84 HIV-positive mothers and 170 controls of unknown status were interviewed using validated questionnaires. Knowledge scores and self-reported infant feeding practices were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression models were employed to determine predictors for infant feeding practices. Transmission risk perception (95.2% vs. 65.3%) (p<0.05) and adequate knowledge of infant feeding (77.4% vs. 51.2%) (p<0.05) were higher among HIV-positive mothers. Compared to mothers of unknown status (56.5%), a higher proportion of HIV-positive mothers (84.5%) reported breastfeeding the infant exclusively for 6 months (p<0.05). In contrast,ledge, and at
