Achievement of long-term remission of disseminated histoplasmosis in an AIDS patient

Histoplasmosis, a fungal infection caused by Histoplasma capsulatum, is poor prognosis once it disseminated, especially in immunocompromised patients. A 50-year-old Japanese-Brazilian male with multiple cervical lymphadenopathies was diagnosed as disseminated histoplasmosis and acquired immunodefici...

description Histoplasmosis, a fungal infection caused by Histoplasma capsulatum, is poor prognosis once it disseminated, especially in immunocompromised patients. A 50-year-old Japanese-Brazilian male with multiple cervical lymphadenopathies was diagnosed as disseminated histoplasmosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Anti-fungal therapy was initiated followed by anti-retroviral therapy (ART). He achieved long-term remission by treatment with voriconazole. Here we report a case of an AIDS patient with disseminated histoplasmosis who achieved long-term survival in non-endemic area.
