Presentation of a case of disseminated histoplasmosis, observed in a non-endemic area, in which cutaneous lesions and fever were the dominant clinical signs of the infection.
A 54-year-old homosexual man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) related Kaposi's sarcoma presented with cutaneous lesions and fever due to disseminated histoplasmosis. The patient was successfully treated with itraconazole 200 mg/day. He died after 8 months from AIDS dementia complex: disseminated histoplasmosis relapse was not observed.
The case shows that infection with Histoplasma capsulatum must be considered by dermatologists in HIV/AIDS patients, even in non-endemic areas.
介绍一例在非流行地区观察到的播散性组织胞浆菌病病例,其中皮肤病变和发热是该感染的主要临床症状。
一名54岁患有获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)相关卡波西肉瘤的同性恋男子,因播散性组织胞浆菌病出现皮肤病变和发热。患者接受每日200毫克伊曲康唑治疗后痊愈。8个月后,他死于艾滋病痴呆综合征:未观察到播散性组织胞浆菌病复发。
该病例表明,即使在非流行地区,皮肤科医生也必须考虑HIV/AIDS患者感染荚膜组织胞浆菌的可能性。
