Crohn's disease is associated with treatment and non-treatment infectious complications. Among the treatment-related infectious complications, Histoplasma infection is interesting because of significant overlap between its symptoms and Crohn's disease exacerbation. It is often mistaken as Crohn's disease exacerbation. We present a case of disseminated histoplasmosis presenting as Histoplasma epiglottitis in a patient with Crohn's disease maintained on infliximab, prednisone, and azathioprine.
