Abstract :

Histoplasmosis, also known as Darling’s disease or Tingo Maria fever, is caused by dimorphic fungus, Histoplasma capsulatum. In India, several cases of Histoplasmosis have been reported since 1954, but only a few cases could be diagnosed on cytology and histopathology. Confirmation of diagnosis can be done by fungal culture but it is rarely practiced. Here, we report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis with skin and oral lesions with generalized lymphadenopathy in a HIV positive female.
