In acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients, Talaromyces marneffei infections are mostly disseminated and may involve the skin, mucosa, respiratory system, digestive system, lymphatic system, and as some reports indicate, the nervous system. Mp1p, a cell wall-specific polysaccharide in Talaromyces marneffei, is used for laboratory diagnosis of Talaromyces marneffei in blood and urine samples.
