A disseminated infection with Penicillium marneffei, a rare human pathogen that may infect both healthy and immunocompromised patients, was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology in a patient infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. The presence of yeast-form organisms with an eccentric or central dot and occasional septate and elongated forms highly suggested the diagnosis, which was confirmed on culture. Establishment of the diagnosis is important because this infection is potentially curable.
通过细针穿刺细胞学检查，在一名感染人类免疫缺陷病毒的患者中诊断出马尔尼菲青霉菌的播散性感染，马尔尼菲青霉菌是一种罕见的人类病原体，可感染健康和免疫功能低下的患者。存在带有偏心或中心点的酵母样生物体，以及偶尔出现的分隔和细长形式，强烈提示了诊断，培养结果证实了这一诊断。确立诊断很重要，因为这种感染有可能治愈。
