Disseminated histoplasmosis in an HIV-positive patient mimicking advanced endometrial carcinoma. Case report

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To present a case of disseminated histoplasmosis with endometrial involvement mimicking advanced endometrial carcinoma in a patient with HIV infection. The endometrial findings are described. Case presentation: A woman from Guinea-Bissau presented to a general hospital serving immigrant patients and those with public insurance, complaining of costal pain. Multiple pathological vertebral fractures were identified. During studies performed to clarify the cause of the fractures, a de novo diagnosis of HIV infection was made with a CD4 count of 395 cells/μL. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed images suggestive of vertebral abscesses and suspected endometrial cancer. Study of bone material showed presence of fungal spores and endometrial biopsy revealed non-necrotizing granulomas and histiocytic accumulations, without neoplastic lesion. Serological tests were positive for Histoplasma capsulatum. The patient was treated with liposomal amphotericin B and antiretroviral therapy with favorable clinical evolution on follow-up. Conclusions: It is important to consider opportunistic infections in the differential diagnosis of pelvic masses in immunocompromised patients. Additional studies are needed to determine the frequency of endometrial involvement in disseminated histoplasmosis and to establish specific diagnostic protocols.
