“…However, cases are reported almost exclusively in patients who live in or have travelled to endemic areas (Central America and Central North America) and only rarely in patients from non-endemic areas [4][5][6][7]. It is still, however, a relatively uncommon pathogen in AIDS patients, even in endemic areas [8][9][10][11].…”

“…In some cases, oral lesions appear to be the primary or only manifestation of the disease. [3,4] Here, we are reporting two cases of histoplasmosis, one with disseminated disease with lesions on the skin, oral cavity and viscera and the second case, presenting for the first time, with only oral lesions and found to be in an advanced-stage of HIV infection on investigation.…”

Histoplasmosis, also called as Darling's disease, is caused by the dimorphic fungus, Histoplasma capsulatum. In India, several cases of histoplasmosis have been reported since 1954, but in only a few cases could the diagnosis be confirmed by fungal culture. Disseminated histoplasmosis in adults is often associated with immunosuppression, as in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Oral lesions are seen in 30-50% of the patients. Here, we are reporting two histoplasmosis cases, one with disseminated histoplasmosis with extensive skin and oral lesions in a known HIV-positive patient and the second case presenting with ulcer of the tongue, found to be HIV positive on investigation. It is important to consider histoplasmosis as one of the differential diagnosis of oral lesions in HIV-infected individuals.

“…Ficarra described ulceration in angular cheilitis, 53 while ulcers have also been described in oral cryptococcosis 54 and histoplasmosis. 55 Bacillary epithelioid angiomatosis due to Rochalimaea henselae is associated with oral ulceration. Oral ulceration may also be a consequence of infection with syphilis or Mycobacterium avium intracellulare.…”
