Abstract
Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection caused by a dimorphic fungus, Histoplasma capsulatum. Most infections occur after inhalation of fungal spores. A wide variety of clinical manifestations can occur depending on the host response and the extent of inoculation. We report a case of probable cutaneous histoplasmosis after trauma in a 26-year-old man from Paraguay who was also infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Diagnosis was based on histological and mycological examination. No systemic involvement was found.
