title: Disseminated histoplasmosis with reactive haemophagocytosis presenting as PUO in an immunocompetent host.
abstract: 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.
