Histoplasmosis is a systemic fungal infection caused by dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. It is widely distributed throughout the world. In present study, the case of a 50-year-old male patient diagnosed as pulmonary histoplasmosis. Initially, the patient was suspected as a case of alcoholic hepatitis but subsequently the diagnosis of pulmonary histoplasmosis was confirmed by lung biopsy. The symptoms were dissuaded following amphotericin B and itraconazole treatment.

CONTEXT: Histoplasmosis is a fungal disease caused by inhaling spores of the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. The spores can be found in soil contaminated with bird, bat or chicken feces. Histoplasmosis occurs worldwide and is one of the most common pulmonary and systemic mycoses. CASE REPORT: We report here the case of a 37-year-old man with acquired immune deficiency syndrome and histoplasmosis in the nasal septum, without pulmonary involvement, that evolved rapidly to disseminated infection, multiple organ failure and death.

We report a rare case of chronic disseminated histoplasmosis with several ulcerated lesions in the oral cavity in an alcoholic patient without human immunodeficiency virus infection, with no detectable signs and symptoms of systemic disease or extraoral manifestations. Histopathological analysis revealed chronic inflammatory process with granulomas containing Histoplasma-like organisms. The isolation of Histoplasma capsulatum provided the definitive diagnosis. Treatment with itraconazole resulted in complete remission of oral lesions. As far we aware, this is the second case report of oral histoplasmosis in an HIV negative patient described in Brazil.

Introduction: Histoplasmosis is a fungal disease, caused by Histoplasma capsulatum. Goal: To report a case of an immunocompromised patient with diagnosis of histoplasmosis in a non-endemic region. Methodology: Case report. Case report: Patient carrier of rheumatoid arthritis, makes continuous use of methotrexate and has reported contact with large amount of bat guano. Result of cervical lymph node culture was positive for H. capsulatum. Discussion: The infection was presented related to drug-induced immunosuppression in a non-endemic area. Conclusion: In view of the location where the infection occurred, the geographic expansion of the disease and the importance of this report for the literature are clear.
