title: [Histoplasmosis in a renal transplant patient].
abstract: The case of a Spanish kidney transplant patient who developed disseminated histoplasmosis approximately one year and a half after transplantation without having previously visited or travelled to endemic areas of histoplasmosis is presented. To our knowledge this is the first case of this disease in a kidney transplant patient in Spain without epidemiologic antecedent. The study of anti-histoplasm antibodies by complement fixation of the donor and recipient did not safely clarify the mechanism of contagion.
