| Popis: |
Small bowel bleeding (SBB) accounts for 5-10% of patients with gastrointestinal bleeding and its association is unusual in patients with histoplasmosis. The incidence of gastrointestinal histoplasmosis is unknown since only 3-12% present symptoms, predominantly in immunocompromised patients. However, in immunocompetent hosts, it is reported only in 0.05% of cases. A clinical case of an immunocompetent patient with massive SBB, Grade IV hypovolemic shock associated with systemic histoplasmosis and treated with intestinal resection and amphotericin B is hereby discussed. |
