| Abstract: | Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis secondary to Histoplasma infection is rare and almost always occurs in immunocompromised hosts. We report a 32-year-old immunocompetent man presenting with a nonspecific febrile illness found to have disseminated histoplasmosis and associated haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. The diagnosis was confirmed on histopathological examination and PCR of liver and bone marrow biopsies. He was successfully treated with steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin and itraconazole. � 2024 |
