The aim of the study was to detect rDNA sequences and their regions in Histoplasma capsulatum, which could be considered species-specific used as a molecular method for this diagnosis by technique nested polymerase chain reaction (nested PCR), employing specific (primers) H. capsulatum: 18S region (HC18), 100 kDa (HC100) sequence 5.8 S-ITS (HC5.8). PCR HC18, HC100 HC5.8 resulted specificity 100%. assays may increase specificity, sensitivity speed Histoplasmosis.
