Abstract EN
Cunninghamella bertholletiae is an opportunistic fungal organism found in soil and is a rare cause of human disease.
The few reported cases of C.
bertholletiae have involved immune compromised hosts.
We report a case of C.
bertholletiae in an otherwise healthy patient presenting with persistent high-grade fever and pulmonary infiltration resistant to antibiotics.
The organism is isolated through bronchoscopy and responded to broad spectrum antifungal.
This is the first case of C.
bertholletiae reported in the literature in an immune competent individual.
