Abstract | Fungal infection of bone by Penicillium marneffei is rare. We report on a case of Penicillium marneffei
infection in a Filipino woman, which involved multiple soft-tissue abscesses and infection of the axial
skeleton. Early diagnosis and treatment of this potentially reversible disease is emphasised. Such an
approach is essential to prevent bony destruction from becoming too advanced and, more importantly,
to prevent any damage to the spinal cord from occurring. |
