Abstract

Histoplasmosis as a serious opportunistic infection in association with AIDS has assumed considerable importance. We have gathered 20 case reports from the literature of oral histoplasmosis in HIV-infected patients. In some cases, oral lesions appear to be the primary or only manifestation of disease. We report one such case of oral histoplasmosis in a bisexual man who was seen with ulcerations on the palate and proved to be infected by HIV.
