Abstract
Histoplasmosis is an important systemic fungal infection in endemic areas. The disease is not very frequently reported from India except for the north-eastern Indian states like West Bengal, which is considered as the endemic region for histoplasmosis. In the last two decades, histoplasmosis has been reported with increased frequency from other regions as well, but most of the cases are associated with AIDS. Here we report a case of progressive disseminated histoplasmosis presenting as bilateral adrenal mass with pain abdomen and altered sensorium in an immuno competent patient from the state of Andhra pradesh.
