Adrenal histoplasmosis in immunocompetent individuals a case series from the North-Western part of India, Rajasthan province: An emerging endemic focus
We describe five immunocompetent men with adrenal histoplasmosis presenting with constitutional symptoms. Four patients had bilateral adrenal involvement, whereas one had unilateral adrenal mass. Three patients had adrenal insufficiency at presentation and the other two developed adrenal insufficiencies during follow-up. All the patients received amphotericin B and itraconazole treatment which led to symptomatic improvement but adrenal insufficiency persisted in all patients at the end of the follow-up.
