| Abstract: | We report a lethal Myceliophthora thermophila infection in an immunocompromised patient. Based upon the clinical and mycological presentation, an initial diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis was made, possibly delaying optimal management in the patient. Melanized fungi are emerging pathogens that require early identification to improve their unfavorable prognosis. |
