- W3208325217 abstract "Abstract Introduction/Objective Sarcoidosis is a syndrome of unknown cause that may manifest with clinical, radiographic and pathological findings similar to those seen with histoplasmosis. We present a case of disseminated histoplasmosis in an immunocompetent patient previously diagnosed with sarcoidosis. Methods/Case Report A 69-year-old obese male with a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and long-standing sarcoidosis was admitted to the hospital for several months of intermittent fevers and pancytopenia. His sarcoidosis was diagnosed 21 years prior, initially involving the lungs and eventually showing cardiac involvement, requiring a pacemaker. He had been treated with methotrexate and prednisone. His recent medical history was also significant for COVID-19 infection, diagnosed 3 months before admission. His fevers were initially attributed to sarcoidosis and his pancytopenia to methotrexate. However, his symptoms continued despite discontinuation of his medications, and further workup was initiated. Computed tomography showed hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, and lymphadenopathy, concerning for a lymphoproliferative disorder. The patient underwent a bone marrow biopsy that showed noncaseating granulomas and microorganisms consistent with histoplasmosis on fungal stain. Bone marrow cultures were not possible as the marrow was inaspirable. The patient subsequently underwent a lymph node biopsy with both morphology and culture identifying histoplasmosis. Urine and serum histoplasma antigen also returned positive. The patient’s overall clinical picture was consistent with disseminated histoplasmosis and he was administered intravenous Amphotericin B for 3 weeks followed by oral itraconazole for 1 year. One month follow-up after discharge showed significant improvement in the patient’s condition. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) N/A Conclusion Sarcoidosis reduces T-cell activity, and treatment with steroids causes further immunosuppression and vulnerability for development of a disseminated infection. COVID-19 also presumably increases the predisposition to acquire bacterial or fungal co-infections. Clinicians and pathologists should be aware of the overlap in clinical, radiologic and pathological presentations of sarcoidosis and histoplasmosis to make the correct diagnosis and administer the appropriate treatment." @default.
