title: [Histoplasma capsulatum infection, a manifestation of AIDS unusual for The Netherlands].
abstract: The history of 29-year-old male from Surinam with antibodies to HIV-1 and long-lasting fever, lymphadenopathy, pain in the right upper abdomen and a granulomatous hepatitis is described. The patient suffered from disseminated histoplasmosis, a fungal disease rare in The Netherlands, which is the indicator disease for the diagnosis of AIDS (CDC-IVCI). It is stressed that in seropositive patients coming from endemic areas, including Surinam, the possibility of this disease should be considered.
