| Abstract: | Summary A native from Surinam (South America), known to have a chronic gonarthritis for 20 years, died from an acute disseminated histoplasmosis. His gonarthritis was retrospectively shown to have been due to histoplasmosis. Although histoplasmosis rarely presents as a monarthritis, unacquaintance with this entity may result in fatal acute dissemination of the histoplasmosis. |
