is a plant fungus causing silver leaf disease of plants, particularly of the rose family. Here we report a case of paratracheal abscess caused by This is a first of its kind of a case wherein this plant fungus caused disease in a human. Conventional techniques (microscopy and culture) failed to identify the fungus. Only by sequencing, the identity of this unusual pathogen could be revealed. This case highlights the potential of environmental plant fungi to cause disease in humans and stresses the importance of molecular techniques to identify the causative fungal species.
是一种导致植物尤其是蔷薇科植物银叶病的植物真菌。在此我们报告一例由该真菌引起的气管旁脓肿病例。这是此类植物真菌首次在人类中引发疾病的病例。传统技术（显微镜检查和培养）未能识别出该真菌。只有通过测序，才能揭示这种不寻常病原体的身份。该病例凸显了环境植物真菌导致人类疾病的可能性，并强调了分子技术在识别致病真菌物种方面的重要性。
