Abstract
AbstractHistoplasmosis is an expected endemic mycosis in solid organ transplant recipients and occurs as a primary infection, reactivation, or, rarely, acquired from an infected allograft. Reactivation is favored by maintenance immunosuppression or anti‐rejection therapy, which facilitates the appearance of disseminated forms as well as unusual presentations. We present the case of a 66‐year‐old woman with isolated tenosynovitis due to Histoplasma capsulatum 25 years after a kidney transplant.
