摘要

Penicillium marneffei (P. marneffei) is a facultative intracellular pathogen and the only thermally dimorphic fungus. This fungal infection is commonly found in Southeast Asian, Hong Kong, south China, and especially in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients. We reported a patient with AIDS in whom infection due to P. marneffei was demonstrated.
