Abstract
Histoplasmosis is a granulomatous infection caused by dimorphic fungus-Histoplasma capsulatum. Ocular involvement is mainly in the form of retinal or choroidal involvement as presumed ocular histoplasmosis mostly in immunocompromised patients. Conjunctival, scleral, and adnexal involvement is rarely reported. We report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis with conjunctival lesion as the initial clinical manifestation clinching the diagnosis.
