case_images: Emergomyces orientalis infection in a systemic lupus erythematosus patient. (A) Velvety white colonies of on Sabouraud agar on day 20 at 28 C. (B) White yeast-like colonies of on Sabouraud agar on day 20 at 35 C. (C) Colonies stained with lactophenol cotton blue showing hyphae and conidiophores (incubated at 28 C) (original magnification x400). (D) Colonies stained with lactophenol cotton blue showing oval, budding forms consistent with small yeasts (incubated at 35 C) (original magnification x400). (E) Computed tomography showed a small nodule in the right middle lobe of the lung.

case_images: The colonies incubated at 35 C appeared as white, yeast-like structures, while those grown on Sabouraud agar at 28 C exhibited mold characteristics ( Figure 1 ).
case_images: Fungal sequencing results (Phylogenomic tree based on the genome sequences of strains WG236 and the related members of the family Ajellomycetaceae.) ANI analysis showed that the ANI value of sample WG236 and Emergomyces orientalis was greater than 99.9%, indicating that they were identified as the same species.
