Penicillium marneffei has emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen in Southeast Asia during the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic. We report a case of disseminated P. marneffei in a person with previously undiagnosed acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who traveled to Southeast Asia, illustrating the importance of considering this diagnosis in immunocompromised travelers.
在人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)流行期间,马尔尼菲篮状菌已成为东南亚地区一种重要的机会性致病原。我们报告了一例播散性马尔尼菲篮状菌病病例,患者为一名前往东南亚地区的、先前未被诊断出患有获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)的人,这说明了对于免疫功能低下的旅行者考虑这一诊断的重要性。
