  • Title: Disseminated histoplasmosis in a Danish patient with AIDS.
    Author: Smith E, Franzmann M, Mathiesen LR.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 1989; 21(5):573-7. PubMed ID: 2555913.
    Abstract:
    We present the first case of disseminated histoplasmosis in an AIDS patient in Europe, a 33-year-old Danish homosexual man, and recommend a detailed travel history in HIV-positive patients presenting with fever, weight loss and organomegaly. In Scandinavia disseminated histoplasmosis is rare but should be kept in mind as the disease is a major opportunistic infection in patients with AIDS. Treatment with amphotericin B followed by fluconazole was effective.
