Pulmonary infection caused by Schizophyllum commune: a case study

Although pulmonary infections caused by <i>Schizophyllum commune</i> (<i>S. commune</i>) are still relatively rare in clinical practice, they are increasingly familiar and valued by clinicians. The clinical symptoms and imaging of pulmonary infection with <i>S. commune</i> are not typical, thus diagnosis needs to be confirmed by clinical etiology. <i>S. commune</i> is one of the main fungal species causing allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis. The overall prognosis of <i>S. commune</i> pulmonary infection is good. This paper describes a case of a woman with no underlying disease who had pulmonary infection with <i>S. commune</i>. This report aims to improve clinicians' awareness of the disease.
