  • Title: [Leprosy-like cutaneous presentation of Histoplasma capsulatum infection in an African HIV+ patient].
    Author: Scarlata F, Imburgia C, Trizzino M, Titone L.
    Journal: Infez Med; 2012 Sep; 20(3):211-3. PubMed ID: 22992563.
    Abstract:
    Histoplasma capsulatum is an opportunistic dimorphic fungus responsible for most often self-limiting or flu-like infections but potentially lethal in immunocompromised hosts. Histoplasmosis is rare in Europe. We reported a case of disseminated histoplasmosis in an African HIV patient with a leprosy-like primary cutaneous presentation and involvement of lungs, brain, limphnodes and eye. The therapy with liposomial B amphotericin and itraconazole led to a prompt resolution of the symptoms.
