Abstract
Immunocytoadherence was investigated as a method of detecting active histoplasmosis in two groups of infected New Zealand white rabbits. Yeast-phase Histoplasma capsulatum was given intravenously to one group and intratracheally to the other. There was a striking correlation between the clinical condition of the animals and the number of rosettes seen. This number increased as the infection progressed and decreased as it regressed. The immunocytoadherence technique might be of value in detecting active histoplasmosis, and investigation in humans is warranted.
