A 37-year-old male living in Oman was seen by his physician with complaints of cough, body aches with bilateral lower limb weakness and on and off fever. He was diagnosed with HIV infection and culture from blood and bone marrow grew Talaromyces marneffei. He had travelled to Malaysia on several occasions. Treatment with liposomal amphotericin B resulted in complete cure. This case is reported for its rarity and unusual presentation to alert clinicians and microbiologists to consider T. marneffei as an etiology in high risk individuals. Our case is the first recorded diagnosis of T. marneffei in Oman.
一名居住在阿曼的37岁男性因咳嗽、全身疼痛伴双下肢无力及反复发热就诊于医生。他被诊断为HIV感染，血液和骨髓培养出马尔尼菲篮状菌。他曾多次前往马来西亚。脂质体两性霉素B治疗后完全治愈。报道该病例是因其罕见及不寻常的表现，以提醒临床医生和微生物学家在高危个体中考虑马尔尼菲篮状菌作为病因。我们的病例是阿曼首例有记录的马尔尼菲篮状菌诊断病例。
