Graft versus histoplasma disease: A case of vascular graft infection.

Histoplasma vascular graft infection (VGI) is rarely reported, with only a handful of instances documented in the existing literature. Reporting Histoplasma VGI cases is important as they demonstrate previous treatment strategies and their outcomes. In this paper, we report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis with ascending aortic graft infection. Conservative therapy was attempted initially but failed, and our patient eventually required surgical graft explantation. Our case demonstrates the challenges in diagnosing and managing VGI caused by Histoplasma capsulatum.
