    Abstract:
    Histoplasmosis Histoplasma capsulatum is a common systemic mycosis in immunocompromised subjects. It has not been reported in Maghreb countries. The purpose of this report is to describe a case with cutaneous presentation involving a Moroccan woman undergoing long-term corticosteroid therapy for systemic inflammatory diseases (rheumatoid polyarthritis and scleroderma). In addition to the main pathophysiological features of the disease, the authors present the causal agent and clinical manifestations. They stress the importance of laboratory findings in the diagnosis of this fungal disease.
