We report a case of pulmonary disease due to species in a preexisting tuberculous cavity in an immunocompromised male patient. The fungus was isolated from broncheoalveolar lavage fluid. The fungus was repeatedly isolated in culture, and the patient recovered with anti-tuberculosis treatment. Although the members of the genus are common soil saprobes, they can occasionally cause systemic infections.
我们报告一例免疫功能低下男性患者,在既往结核空洞内由某菌种引起肺部疾病的病例。该真菌从支气管肺泡灌洗液中分离得到。该真菌在培养中多次分离出,患者经抗结核治疗后康复。尽管该属成员是常见的土壤腐生菌,但它们偶尔也会引起全身感染。
