Chronic pulmonary penicilliosis due to penicillium marneffei: Late presentation in a French traveler

Abstract

We report a case of pulmonary penicilliosis due to Penicillium marneffei in an immunocompetent French patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, who had traveled in endemic countries several years before. The long interval between exposure and initial symptoms of infection, and relapse despite prolonged voriconazole treatment are unusual features. © 2014 International Society of Travel Medicine.
