Summary : Penicillium marneffei (PM) infection is prevalent in South-East Asia and Southern China and has been considered an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining disease. This report focused on the verrucoid proliferative lesions of P. marneffei infection in a 34-year-old Chinese female AIDS patient from a non-endemic region. She recovered after receiving intravenous amphotericin B followed by oral itraconazole therapy. At the same time, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) was also started. She responded very well to the treatment. |
