Histoplasmosis is caused by Histoplasma capsulatum, and commonly it causes an asymptomatic illness. Although Histoplasma is the commonest organism to infect adrenal glands, disseminated histoplasmosis in an immune-competent host leading to adrenal insufficiency is rare in current
Acquired perforating dermatosis (APD) is a rare disorder characterized by transepidermal elimination of contents from dermis with minimal disruption of surrounding structures, believed to be due to altered expression of dermal proteins. Its occurrence in patients with systemic mycosis has never been
Twenty-two cases of feline histoplasmosis seen at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital between 1986 and 2009 were reviewed. The median age of affected cats was 9 yr (mean, 8.8 yr). Female domestic shorthairs were more commonly affected. The clinical
Histoplasmosis is a common fungal infection, normally infecting people exposed to demolition sites or bat/bird droppings in the central and eastern states. When a child presents with a chest mass and eosinophilia in a non-endemic region the likelihood of an infectious process like pulmonary
Pheochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-secreting neuroendocrine tumors that can occasionally progress to life-threatening disease, including a multisystem crisis. Patients with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) may develop pheochromocytomas, and the consequent chronic elevation of plasma

Acute disseminated histoplasmosis is a frequent condition in HIV carriers. Thirty-five cases of endocarditis caused by Histoplasma capsulatum have been reported in international literature, and all these descriptions correspond to a context of subacute disseminated histoplasmosis. This paper
A cat was presented with a history of vomiting, decreased appetite and weight loss. Abnormal findings were poor body condition, pale mucous membranes, dehydration and a palpable abdominal mass. Abdominal ultrasound showed lymph node enlargement, a mass of uncertain origin, thickening of the
Histoplasmosis is a fungal disease caused by Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum (Hcc) and H. capsulatum var. duboisii (Hcd). Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is rare. So far, the few cases reported having Histoplasmosis associated brain abscesses were
Histoplasma meningitis (HM) has been reported to occur primarily in association with disseminated histoplasmosis (DH). We report a case of histoplasma meningitis occurring in a patient with common variable hypogammaglobulinemia (CVH) in which no manifestations of DH were observed. L. L., a
