TODO - We report the first case of Penicillium marneffei infection in a Greek
bisexual man who is a frequent traveler to China. Penicilliosis and AIDS
were diagnosed and antifungal treatment plus highly active
antiretroviral therapy were administered successfully. In nonendemic
areas travel history, clinical suspicion and laboratory alertness are
critical for infection management.
