Abstrakt: Adrenal histoplasmosis (AH) is an uncommon form of disseminated histoplasmosis caused by the dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. Though, India is considered to be a non-endemic area for histoplasmosis, a high rise of AH cases is reported currently from various parts of India. Our study aimed to evaluate the current perspective of adrenal histoplasmosis in India by reviewing its clinical course, differential diagnosis, treatment, and mortality of our eleven confirmed cases of AH along with the review of authentic reported AH cases from India.
