Infection due to Paecilomyces lilacinus: a challenging clinical identification
Clin Infect Dis.
1997 Dec.
Abstract
We describe a case of noninvasive sinusitis caused by Paecilomyces lilacinus in a patient with diabetes mellitus. Cure was achieved by endoscopic drainage and aspiration of the fungal mass. We discuss the difficulty in and clinical importance of distinguishing Paecilomyces from Aspergillus.
