Popis: A 30-year-old man with advanced HIV and disseminated histoplasmosis deteriorated after stepping down from intravenous liposomal amphotericin B to itraconazole.Therapeutic levels of itraconazole and posaconazole were not achieved, therefore liposomal amphotericin B was reintroduced. Stepdown treatment was switched to oral isavuconazole; since then the patient has remained well. Keywords: Histoplasmosis, Isavuconazole, Itraconazole, HIV, Histoplasma capsulatum
