Abstract

Infection-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (IAHS) has been found in many systemic infectious conditions with a high mortality rate. Disseminated Penicillium marneffei infection is a common opportunistic condition among HIV-infected patients in many regions in Southeast Asia. We report the first case of IAHS caused by penicilliosis in an HIV-infected child who presented with cytopenias and recovered promptly after antifungal and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.
