Abstract
Disseminated histoplasmosis in an immunocompetent individual is a rare phenomenon. The microconidia of this dimorphic fungus are transmitted through inhalational route and undergo dissemination. Cytopenias in the background of immunocompetence is an extremely rare finding in disseminated histoplasmosis. Here, we report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis in an immunocompetent patient presenting with fever, hepatosplenomegaly and bicytopenia.
