Bilateral adrenal histoplasmosis in a diabetic patient: A case report and review of cases in India

Abstract

Disseminated histoplasmosis usually affects immunocompromised and immunosuppressed individuals and may involve various organ systems of our body. The definitive diagnosis of histoplasmosis is very challenging because it usually presents with nonspecific symptoms such as malignancies, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and other chronic infections. Hereby, we report a culture-proven case of bilateral adrenal histoplasmosis in a diabetic but immunocompetent patient. The patient showed good response to treatment with antifungal drugs.
