When Emerging Fungal Infections Mimic Tuberculosis: First Reported Case of Invasive <i>Emergomyces europaeus</i> Infection in a Man With Immunocompromise Living in France
Emergomycosis is an emerging thermally dimorphic fungal infection primarily observed in individuals with HIV and is associated with cutaneous, pulmonary, or disseminated manifestations. We report the first case of invasive infection by <i>Emergomyces europaeus</i> involving both the lungs and bone marrow in a person with immunocompromise, identified through molecular tools.
