Penicillium marneffei infection is an important emerging public health problem, especially among patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus in the areas of endemicity in Southeast Asia, India, and China. Within these regions, it is regarded as an AIDS-defining illness, and severity of the disease depends on the immunological status of the infected individual [1]. We report a case of Penicillium marneffei infection in a 28 years male under antiretroviral therapy for HIV infection. He was presented with papulo-nodular umbilicated skin lesions all over body and fever for 1 month. This is the first case report of Penicillium marneffei from Tripura.
