- Abstract:
- BACKGROUND: Increasing incidence of invasive infections caused by rare fungi was observed over the recent years. CASE: Here, we describe the first reported case of an infection caused by the thermophilic mold Talaromyces thermophilus. Cultivation and, hence, identification of this fastidious organism is challenging since standard incubation conditions are not sufficient. Retrospective analysis of patient samples and in vitro experiments demonstrated that testing for fungal antigens, i.e., the cell wall components galactomannan and β-1,3-D-glucan, is a promising tool.
