- Abstract
A 35-year-old HIV seropositive male patient presented with fever, weight loss, papules, nodules and fungating masses all over the body. Histopathological and mycological study of the skin biopsy tissue confirmed the diagnosis of penicilliosis. Although penicilliosis is restricted to Southeast Asia, more cases are being recognized in nonendemic countries.
