Abstract

Histoplasmosis capsulatum is a dimorphic fungus commonly considered endemic in the Mississippi and Ohio River Valley regions. Histoplasmosis can present as asymptomatic in immunocompetent patients or present as a disseminated infection in immunocompromised patients. Diagnosing histoplasmosis can be challenging in nonendemic areas, especially in patients presenting primarily with gastrointestinal symptoms. We describe a case of an immunocompromised 29-year-old man presenting with gastric outlet obstruction caused by disseminated histoplasmosis in a region not commonly considered endemic to Histoplasmosis capsulatum.

非流行地区组织胞浆菌病所致胃出口梗阻。

荚膜组织胞浆菌病是一种二态真菌，通常被认为是密西西比和俄亥俄河谷地区的地方性疾病。组织胞浆菌病在免疫功能正常的患者中可表现为无症状，或在免疫功能低下的患者中表现为播散性感染。在非流行地区诊断组织胞浆菌病可能具有挑战性，特别是在主要表现为胃肠道症状的患者中。我们描述了一个免疫功能低下的29岁男子的胃出口梗阻的情况下，播散性组织胞浆菌病引起的区域通常不被认为是地方性的组织胞浆菌病。
