We report a 36-year-old man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), presenting systemic Penicillium marneffei (PM) infection. Fungal culture from the blood isolated PM. PM-induced enteritis was also suspected in this patient although there was no direct evidence. He also had other manifestations of immunocompromised status, including military tuberculosis and oral candidiasis. He died of respiratory failure in spite of prompt treatment for infection. This is the first confirmed case of PM infection in Taiwan.
我们报告一名36岁获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）男性患者，其出现系统性马尔尼菲青霉菌（PM）感染。血液真菌培养分离出PM。尽管没有直接证据，但该患者也疑似患有PM所致肠炎。他还存在免疫功能低下状态的其他表现，包括粟粒性肺结核和口腔念珠菌病。尽管对感染进行了及时治疗，他仍死于呼吸衰竭。这是台湾首例确诊的PM感染病例。
