case_images: Blood culture, bone marrow culture and sputum culture all grew Talaromyces marneffei.Coronal T2-weighted MRI showed a high-signal-density mass in the left parietal lobe (Figure 1A). Chest CT examinations showed a hollow plaque in the lower left lung (Figure 1B).
case_images: Excised brain mass during surgery.

case_images: Surgical incision of the brain mass showed a compact mass (Figure 2).
case_images: (A) microscopic morphology of Talaromyces marneffei in brain mass (Giemsa stain). The white arrow indicates the presence of Talaromyces marneffei; (B)microscopic morphology of Talaromyces marneffei in brain mass culture (lectophenol cotton blue stain); (C) Results of 6 days culture on SDA medium showed the Talaromyces marneffei.
