Epididymo-orchitis caused by Histoplasma capsulatum

Acceso Abierto

Abstract:

A 66-year-old man presented with asymptomatic right testicular swelling. He was known to be infected with HIV and was non-adherent to treatment. He was recently treated for nasal leishmaniasis. Surgical drainage was performed and eventually, an orchiectomy was required. A post-mortem diagnosis was made of disseminated histoplasmosis. Testicular infection due to H. capsulatum is rare, with only a few cases being reported. Here we present a case of testicular histoplasmosis, followed by a literature review.
