 AB    A 63-year-old, Dutch, HIV-seronegative man presented with anal pain and
       itch of 6 months' duration, a perianal ulcer and a solitary colon ulcer.
       Crohn's disease was suspected; the patient was treated with
       corticosteroids, but later died. Autopsy revealed disseminated
       histoplasmosis, a fungal disease rare in the Netherlands. The patient
       had visited Honduras. This case report illustrates that disseminated
       histoplasmosis may mimic Crohn's disease leading to a delay in the
       diagnosis.
