Disseminated Central Nervous System Histoplasmosis: A Case Report

Central nervous system (CNS) histoplasmosis is a rare manifestation of disease, often misdiagnosed due to the wide spectrum of neurological presentation. We present a rare case of CNS histoplasmosis in a 62-year-old male with untreated myeloproliferative disease who presented with altered mental sta...

description Central nervous system (CNS) histoplasmosis is a rare manifestation of disease, often misdiagnosed due to the wide spectrum of neurological presentation. We present a rare case of CNS histoplasmosis in a 62-year-old male with untreated myeloproliferative disease who presented with altered mental status. This case emphasizes the clinical presentation and diagnostic difficulty in a patient with CNS histoplasmosis. We also highlight the importance of implementing a multidisciplinary approach in the medical management of disseminated histoplasmosis with CNS involvement.
