Abstract
Penicilliosis marneffei is an extremely rare fungal infectious disease that often occurs in hosts with immunodeficiency or immune dysfunction. Penicilliosis marneffei has been seldom reported in children with multiple infiltrations throughout the body. We report a case of a boy with normal immune function who had multiple infiltrations of penicilliosis marneffei and was misdiagnosed with lymphoma by PET/CT.
