Cutaneous manifestations of disseminated Penicillium marneffei mycosis in five HIV-infected patients
Five cases of disseminated Penicillium marneffei mycosis of Thai HIV patients, presented between November 1990 and April 1991, have been investigated. All patients were male and had bone marrow involvement. They showed mucocutaneous lesions with papules predominantly on the faces and upper extremiti...
