Ileal perforation secondary to histoplasmosis in AIDS
Abstract
Our patient presented with abdominal pain, weight loss, and fever with evidence of oral thrush and pelvic inflammatory disease on exam. Radiographs demonstrated a small bowel obstruction with free air. An exploratory laparotomy demonstrated 2 perforations of the distal ileum. Pathologic exam revealed features consistent with histoplasmosis. We discuss gastrointestinal involvement of histoplasmosis in AIDS and its treatment.
