Abstract

Abstract: Gingival lesions as the sole manifestation of African histoplasmosis ( Histoplasma capsulatum var. duboisii ) have never been reported in baboons. Grossly, lesions can be indistinguishable from bacterial ulcerative gingivitis or gingival hyperplasia. Clinical outcomes of primary gingival histoplasmosis in baboons are unknown and may complicate colony management decisions.
