title: Progressive Disseminated Histoplasmosis with Coomb's Positive Hemolytic Anemia in an Immunocompetent Host.
abstract: Progressive Disseminated Histoplasmosis (PDH) is mainly described in immuno-compromised individuals and rare in immuno-competent subjects. Here we report a case of progressive disseminated histoplasmosis with Comb's positive hemolytic anemia, which is infrequently reported from a country like India where histoplasmosis is not an endemic mycosis.
