Abstract

Histoplasma capsulatum is a dimorphic fungus usually found in the few regions of West Bengal and Assam, the Gangetic Plains, western parts of India, and sporadically from southern and few northern Indian states.1 Humans are infected by inhalation of microconidia and mycelial fragments of H. capsulatum. 2 It commonly infects immunocompromised patients (HIV/AIDS, transplant patients and patients receiving immunosuppressive agents). In immunocompromised patients, it presents as nonspecific symptoms such as fever of unknown origin, weight loss, oral and aphthous ulcers, lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly.3 Here, we are reporting a case of disseminated histoplasmosis in an immunocompromised patient.
