ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Histoplasmosis is an increasing infection that mainly affects immunocompromised individuals such as patients with HIV/AIDS, with the disseminated form, especially gastrointestinal, being common in this population. The clinical presentation ranges from asymptomatic to symptoms that mimic other abdominal diseases. Jejunal perforation due to histoplasmosis, although rare, has been reported in a few cases, typically in men living with HIV in their fourth decade of life. We present the case of a 34-year-old male, with a history of HIV and colonic histoplasmosis who presented with acute abdominal pain requiring exploratory laparotomy and intestinal resection due to jejunal perforation, with histological confirmation of histoplasmosis in the resected intestinal segment.
