Atypical presentation of histoplasmosis in an immunocompromised patient

Atypical presentation of histoplasmosis in an immunocompromised patient

Abstract We present a case of disseminated cutaneous histoplasmosis in a male patient, rural worker, HIV positive for 20 years, with a history of irregular use of antiretroviral therapy, T cell counts below 50 cells/mm3 and with good response to treatment with Itraconazole. We highlight importance of skin lesions in clarifying early diagnosis, since this co-infection often leads patients to death.
