Primary Histoplasma capsulatum Enterocolitis Mimicking Peptic and Inflammatory Bowel Disease

الملخص EN

In immunocompromised patients, histoplasmosis may present as disseminated disease.

We present a 52-year-old Caucasian male with symptoms of dyspepsia, postprandial epigastric pain, nausea, and nonbloody diarrhea.

Upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopies were suspicious for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); however, biopsies were consistent with histoplasmosis, specifically in the duodenum.
