Oral ulcers associated with bone destruction as the primary manifestation of histoplasmosis in an immunocompetent patient

Abstract

Histoplasmosis is a systemic fungal infection caused by Histoplasmacapsulatum, a saprophyte fungus commonly found in enriched soils with bat and bird droppings.[1] Oral manifestations of histoplasmosis are associated with the disseminated form of the disease, occurring in general associated with pulmonary infection.[2] We report a rare case of oral histoplasmosis with periodontal bone destruction in an immunocompetent patient without underlying pulmonary disease.
