Abstract:
Magnusiomyces capitatus is an uncommon opportunistic fungal pathogen primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals. While rare, cases have been reported in immunocompetent patients. We present a documented case of Magnusiomyces capitatus invasive infection in an immunocompetent patient with no previous medical history. This case shows that invasive fungal infections by Magnusiomyces capitatus might affect even the immunocompetent patients.
