Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Histoplasmosis is an important systemic fungal infection in endemic areas.
In India, most cases are from eastern India (considered to be endemic for the disease) and very few cases reported from the northern part of India.
We report a case of abdominal histoplasmosis presenting in an immuno-competent patient mimicking tuberculosis from the state of Haryana.
