| Summary: | Infection with Histoplasma capsulatum has a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic, subclinical infection in the immunocompetent host to severe, disseminated disease in the immunocompromised host. We report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis with oral mucocutaneous manifestations in a patient with advanced HIV/AIDS and poor antiretroviral adherence. We also discuss key aspects in the diagnosis and management of disseminated histoplasmosis in patients with HIV/AIDS. |
