Opportunistic infections are frequent complications after renal transplantation because of the use of immunosuppressants. Disseminated Histoplasmosis (DH) is one such opportunistic infection, and its clinical presentation varies, which makes its diagnosis a challenge. There is no information regarding DH as a cause of refractory thrombocytopenia in renal transplant recipient (RTR); therefore, we consider this an atypical case, and, because of its clinical characteristics, we have classified it as an Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) induced by histoplasmosis. This is the first case reported in our milieu, and it opens up the possibility for use of intravenous immunoglobulin as a strategic therapy for thrombocytopenia induced by HP in immunosuppressed RTRs.
