Disseminated penicilliosis (Non-penicillium marneffei) in an immuno-competent individual in Malaysia

Disseminated penicilliosis (Non-penicillium marneffei) in an immuno-competent individual in Malaysia

Penicilliosis infection caused by Penicillium marneffei is the third most common opportunistic infection in Human Immunodeficiency Virus patients in South-east Asia; however, Penicillium infection caused by non-P. marneffei is uncommon. We present a case of an immunocompetent male with disseminated...

Penicilliosis infection caused by Penicillium marneffei is the third most common opportunistic infection in Human Immunodeficiency Virus patients in South-east Asia; however, Penicillium infection caused by non-P. marneffei is uncommon. We present a case of an immunocompetent male with disseminated penicilliosis (non-P. marneffei) presenting with recurrent empyema. The case described illustrates the challenges in managing a complicated systemic infection and the outcomes of a delayed presentation, in a potentially treatable disease. © The Author(s) 2017.
