Unexpected disseminated histoplasmosis detected by bone marrow biopsy in a solid organ transplant patient

Disseminated histoplasmosis and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis show overlapping features, which require careful contextual interpretation. Histopathologic evaluation can potentially rapidly identify cases of possible histoplasmosis. A high index of clinical suspicion, particularly in endemic are...

description Disseminated histoplasmosis and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis show overlapping features, which require careful contextual interpretation. Histopathologic evaluation can potentially rapidly identify cases of possible histoplasmosis. A high index of clinical suspicion, particularly in endemic areas and in a setting of immunosuppression, is critical to appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
