Histoplasma capsulatum, a thermal dimorphic fungus, is the agent of histoplasmosis. It is a common cause of endemic mycosis. We report the case of a 64-year-old female, a known case of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, beta-thalassemia trait who presented with persistent fever, decreased appetite and weight loss for a period of 1 month and found to have anaemia and hepatosplenomegaly. She was diagnosed with histoplasmosis on liver biopsy. She was started on amphotericin 'B' liposomal for 14 days. She showed marked improvement symptomatically and later put on tablet itraconazole 200 mg twice a day for 1 year and was advised for follow-up.
