No matter how typical a cutaneous eruption may be in a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, early histologic evaluation is necessary if a delay in diagnosis and treatment is to be avoided. We report the case of a 33-year-old man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who was clinically misdiagnosed as having a drug-induced eruption. Three weeks later he died with disseminated histoplasmosis.
