Abstract
Pulmonary and renal infection developed in a 44-year-old Hispanic man due to the fungus Pseudallescheria boydii. Pseudallescheria boydii has been associated with cutaneous infection known as mycetoma but occurs very infrequently in extracutaneous sites. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of P boydii in a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and the first case with pulmonary and/or renal involvement.
