Disseminated Histoplasmosis

Histoplasmosis is an infectious disease caused by the dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum.. The disseminated form is usually found in immunocompromised patients. A 53 year-old man, renal transplant recipient, was admitted with fever, dyspnea, productive cough, adynamia and weight loss. He was septic, but hemodynamically stable. The tracheal aspirate found intracellular fungi and the peripheral blood exam was compatible with histoplasmosis. The patient presented a progressive worsening of respiratory pattern and needed mechanical ventilation, vasoactive drugs and hemodialysis. A large spectrum antimicrobial therapy was started, including amphotericin B, but the patient died. Keyword: Disseminated histoplasmosis. Kidney transplantation.

Opportunistic infections are frequent complications after renal transplantation because of the use of immunosuppressants. Disseminated Histoplasmosis (DH) is one such opportunistic infection, and its clinical presentation varies, which makes its diagnosis a challenge. There is no information regarding DH as a cause of refractory thrombocytopenia in renal transplant recipient (RTR); therefore, we consider this an atypical case, and, because of its clinical characteristics, we have classified it as an Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) induced by histoplasmosis. This is the first case reported in our milieu, and it opens up the possibility for use of intravenous immunoglobulin as a strategic therapy for thrombocytopenia induced by HP in immunosuppressed RTRs.
