Abstract

In this review, we present a case report of an immunocompetent 58-year-old male who presented with disseminated histoplasmosis (DH) outside of the known endemic regions. Due to his atypical clinical presentation that did not fit the classical clinical picture of DH, the diagnosis was delayed. In addition, we researched DH in the immunocompetent hosts as these cases are not common and leave the patient population vulnerable to delayed diagnosis. The literature supports considering histoplasmosis in the differential diagnosis among patients who present with possible exposures outside of endemic regions and are immunocompetent.
