Abstract
Histoplasmosis caused by Histoplasma capsulatum, a dimorphic fungus is endemic in America but also reported from different parts of the world including India. It preferentially causes disease in immunocompromised hosts in the form of acute as well as chronic lung involvement. Sometimes there is disseminated and progressive disease in immunosuppressed individuals with or without affecting CNS with high mortality rate.
