Hematopoietic and solid organ transplant recipients are at increased risk of opportunistic infections and infections usually are severe due to impaired cell mediated immunity. We report an unusual case of disseminated histoplasmosis in a renal transplant recipient manifesting with a chronic progressive course over several years. After starting treatment with itraconazole, the patient showed marked improvement in his symptoms and had clinical resolution.
