Acute pulmonary histoplasmosis of immunocompetent subjects from Martinique, Guadeloupe and French Guiana: a case series.

This raises the problem of occult exposure in the Caribbean. Interventions to raise awareness and encourage caution are warranted targeting the population of the French West Indies and French Guiana.
