Abstract Gastrointestinal perforation due to infection, including disseminated histoplasmosis, is a rare cause of the surgical acute abdomen, especially in an apparently healthy patient. We describe a rare case of gastrointestinal histoplasmosis-induced small intestine perforation as the first manifestation of acquired immune deficiency syndrome in a healthy patient. Remarkably, the disease mimicked peritonitis carcinomatosis during explorative laparoscopy.
