A fatal case of pulmonary penicilliosis.

Successful treatment of pulmonary invasive fungal infection by Penicillium non‐marneffei in lymphoblastic lymphoma: case report and literature review

“…Usually, Penicillium species isolated from samples of non-AIDS patients are mostly discarded as environmental contaminants. However, in immunosuppressed patients, non-marneffei species are being increasingly recognized as emerging opportunistic pathogens causing invasive fungal infections worldwide, with most reports involving P. citrinum, P. digitatum, and P. chrysogenum (Table 1) [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…In patients with hematological malignancies, they have emerged as potential opportunistic agents, mainly described in acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemia. Pulmonary invasive fungal infection involving P. citrinum, P. purpurogenus, P. notatum, P. brevicompactum, P. oxalicum, and P. commune has been reported [13][14][15][16][17]; including pericardial involvement [13], coinfection with P. jirovecii [17], pulmonary and hepatosplenic involvement [18], and disseminated disease [19]. In patients undergoing transplantation with hematopoietic progenitors, P. brevicompactum has been described causing invasive pulmonary infection [20], and, after autologous bone marrow transplantation for multiple myeloma, pulmonary infection due to T. purpurogenus has been described [21].…”
