Disseminated histoplasmosis in allogeneic bone marrow transplant: a diagnosis not to be missed

Immunosuppressed patients are at highest risk for disseminated histoplasmosis, but only a few cases have been reported in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. We report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis in an allogeneic bone marrow transplant recipient residing in a non‐endemic area. D...

Zusammenfassung:	Immunosuppressed patients are at highest risk for disseminated histoplasmosis, but only a few cases have been reported in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. We report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis in an allogeneic bone marrow transplant recipient residing in a non‐endemic area. Diagnosis was first suspected based on a peripheral blood smear.
