We describe a 2 year-old non-immunocompromised girl with disseminated histoplasmosis who presented with a 2-month history of fever and bloody diarrhoea. On presentation, she was severely wasted and anaemic. There were gross hepatosplenomegaly and multiple lymphadenopathy. A septic screen was negative. A subsequent stool culture isolated Salmonella enteriditis. Serial Widal-Weil Felix (WWF) titres showed serological response after 2 weeks of Ceftriaxone. However, she continued to have spiking fever, bloody diarrhoea and weight loss. She developed pancytopaenia and disseminated intravascular coagulation. A bone marrow aspirate and trephine, and lymph node biopsy showed the presence of Histoplasma capsulatum, confirmed by Gomori-Methenamine Silver staining. She responded to intravenous amphotericin B followed by fluconazole (intravenous then oral) for 6 months after discharge. Human Immunodeficiency Virus screening tests were negative. Complement and immunoglobulin levels were normal. T and B enumeration tests showed gross leucopaenia with very low T cell function with defective phagocytic function. A repeat T and B cell enumeration test and phagocytic function tests done 3 months later were normal.
