Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2016 Jan;29(1):50-1. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2016.11929357.

Abstract

We present a woman with a widespread severe papulopustular eruption, fever, and fatigue of 5 weeks' duration. HIV infection was diagnosed, with an absolute CD4(+) count of 3 cells/µL. The eruption was consistent with disseminated cutaneous histoplasmosis. The clinical manifestations and management of cutaneous histoplasmosis are reviewed.
