Abstract

Introduction. Histoplasmosis is not an endemic form of fungal infection in Russia; its sporadic cases are mainly associated with the import of the fungus from endemic countries. We consider it necessary to demonstrate a rare case of the disseminated histoplasmosis development in a kidney transplant recipient.Objective. Demonstration of a case of the disseminated histoplasmosis development in a kidney transplant recipient.Results. The clinical manifestations of the disease were described; the affected organs were macroscopically and histologically studied, which made it possible to diagnose disseminated histoplasmosis.Conclusions. This case prompts being on alert to potential occurrence of fungal infections, including non-endemic ones, in patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy.
