A case report uncovers disseminated histoplasmosis diagnosis in a patient post-renal transplantation, highlighting diagnostic challenges.
Disseminated histoplasmosis is a potentially serious complication after organ transplantation; however, its occurrence is rare, even in endemic regions. Diagnosis can be challenging, particularly in patients with nonspecific symptoms such as intermittent fever or lethargy. We report the case of a man who presented with intermittent fever 10 years after kidney transplantation. His presentation initially raised suspicion for post‐transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) but was ultimately diagnosed as disseminated histoplasmosis following mediastinal lymph node biopsy and fungal tissue culture.
