DIFFUSE PULMONARY INFILTRATION BY PENICILLIUM MARNEFFEI INFECTION IN A PATIENT WITH HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS INFECTION
Abstract
A 31 years old male patient with HIV infection, had weight loss and cough. Diffuse reticulonodular lesions was seen on chest film in both lung fields, with lower lungs predominance. Multiple skin nodules were also present. Penicillium marneffei infection was proved by gram stain. Treatment of the mentioned pathogen resulted in complete disappearance of the pulmonary lesions. Review of the articles concerning this matter was presented.
