Samson Kimaiyo Kiprono, John Elisante Masenga, Rune Nathaniel Philemon, Baraka Michael Chaula and Bernard Naafs

We present a case of disseminated histoplasmosis in a 12-year-old HIV infected boy. This is a rare presentation of Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum which presented as Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome with osteoarticular involvement. He was treated with fluconazole for five years and healed with shortening of all the digits.
