First University Hospital of West China University of Medical Sciences. Chengdu China Abstract Objective To explore the clinical and laboratory features of disseminated Penicillium marneffei infection in patients with AIDS. Methods The HIV antibody in serum was assayed by both enzyme immunoassay ( EIA) and Western immunoblot (WIB) methods. Morphology of the pathogenic fungus in smear and biopsy specimens of bone marrow was observed. The fungus was isolated from the patient s skin lesion and inoculated into the abdominal cavities of 2 rats and 2 mice. Twenty days later the rats and mice were killed and their viscera were taken out. Blood from the organs were cultured in Sabourand glucose agar at 25and 37. The colonies were observed. The morphology of the fungus was observed by microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Results The most common clinical manifestations of Penicilium marneffei infection were fever weight loss anemia papular skin lesion hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenectasis. Yeast2like cells were found in the culture at 37 or in tissues. The fungi outside the host cells were elongated often curved sausage2like and with clear central septi. When cultured at 25 the fungus was mycelia2like and produced a characteristic red pigment diffusing into the medium. Conclusion Disseminated Penicilliosis marneffei is one of the most important opportunistic infections in patients with AIDS in Southeast Asia and the southern part of China. Since there is no specific clinical manifestation for Penicillium marneffei infection it is often misdiagnosed. Definite diagnosis requires culture of the pathogenic fungus from clinical specimens. The fungus is thermally dimorphic produces red pigment and is sausage - form with clear central septum outside the host cell. Amphotericin B and itraconazole are effective in treating Penicilliosis marneffei. Key words Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome ; Penicillium (penicilliosis marneffei) ( penicillium marneffei) : ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
