An adult red baboon ( Papio cynocephalus papio ) had a severe disseminated case of African histoplasmosis ( Histoplasma capsulatum var. duboisii ) with skin lesions from small pustules to ulcerative granulomas. Osteolytic lesions were seen radiographically. Treatment with ketoconazole for 6 months was unsuccessful.
