Using DNA sequencing, fungal element was later identified as a
mold belonging to Talaromyces sp., which is an agent of hyalohyphomycoses.
This finding also explained the unresponsiveness to
fluconazole that we initially observed. To the best of our knowledge,
this is the first report of an IFI caused by Talaromyces sp. Our
case shows that Talaromyces sp. is the latest addition to a growing
list of rare light-colored (hyaline) molds causing serious infection
