Abstract
Histoplasmosis, also known as Darling’s disease or Tingo Maria fever, is caused by dimorphic fungus, Histoplasma capsulatum. In India, several cases of Histoplasmosis have been reported since 1954, but only a few cases could be diagnosed on cytology and histopathology. Confirmation of diagnosis can be done by fungal culture but it is rarely practiced. Here, we report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis with skin and oral lesions with generalized lymphadenopathy in a HIV positive female.
