Penicilliosis is a rare opportunistic fungal infection caused by Talaromyces marneffei, especially in the HIV-infected patients. The untreated disease is highly fatal. The infection is endemic in Southeast Asia and Northeast India. The present case is the first case of disseminated penicilliosis from North India and Delhi in a 31-year-old male, recently diagnosed with HIV. This case highlights the importance of considering an unusual organism as the cause of disseminated disease in the nonendemic area.
马尔尼菲篮状菌病是一种由马尔尼菲篮状菌引起的罕见机会性真菌感染，尤其在艾滋病病毒感染患者中。未经治疗的疾病死亡率很高。这种感染在东南亚和印度东北部为地方病。本病例是印度北部和德里首例播散性马尔尼菲篮状菌病，患者为一名31岁男性，近期被诊断出感染艾滋病病毒。该病例凸显了在非流行地区将不常见病原体视为播散性疾病病因的重要性。
