Disseminated histoplasmosis with reactive haemophagocytosis presenting as PUO in an immunocompetent host.
Disseminated histoplasmosis (DH) with reactive haemophagocytosis has been described in literature mainly in immunocompromised hosts. Only sporadic case reports exist in immunocompetent hosts. Here, we present a rare case of DH with reactive haemophagocytosis in an immunocompetent host presenting as PUO.
