Ulcerated Nodule in Patient with Talaromycosis: Re-visit a Neglected Disease in the Era of Antiretroviral Therapy

Abstract

Talaromycosis is among common opportunistic infections in patients with AIDS living in the endemic area, although the incidence is declining in the era of antiretroviral therapy. Here, we present a case of disseminated infection in a patient who was unaware of HIV-serostatus and did not receive antiretroviral therapy.
