The purpose of this study was to compare the conventional radioimmunoassay (RIA) to an enzyme-linked immunoassay (EIA) for the measurement of Histoplasma antigen in banked urine specimens. A correlation between the two methods would allow the EIA to be used as a nonradioactive alternative to the established 125I RIA. The study used stored urine from patients diagnosed with histoplasmosis during an outbreak in Indianapolis which began in 1988
