[Histoplasma capsulatum histoplasmosis: apropos of 1 case observed in the internal medicine department of the CHU of Treichville (Abidjan)].
The advent of AIDS has resulted in an increase in diseases which were previously rare. In HIV-infected subjects, histoplasmosis takes a disseminated and particularly severe form, with a fatal outcome in our country, the more so because the clinical presentation resembles tuberculosis and is generally treated as such. The authors report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis in a patient dually-reactive to HIV-1 and HIV-2, in whom the clinical presentation was fever, mediastinal lymphadenopathy and pulmonary infiltrates. The diagnosis of histoplasmosis was made at autopsy.
