Disseminated histoplasmosis is a relentlessly progressive granulomatous disease which can mimic many other granulomatous diseases including tuberculosis. A 48-year-old male was referred to us with 11 months history of multiple subcutaneous swellings and ulcerations over the upper and lower limbs and fever for 2 months. He was evaluated outside for several months and received anti tubercular drugs for about 2 years in the past for a granulomatous infection of bone and soft tissue identified by various biopsies, without any improvement. When he was evaluated and fresh biopsies were taken, they were stained for fungus and disseminated histoplasmosis was detected. This case confirms the importance of considering fungal infections as a possibility while treating disseminated granulomatous infections, even in immune-competent patients, especially if response to treatment is inadequate.
