title: Cladophialophora bantiana isolated from an AIDS patient with pulmonary infiltrates.
abstract: Cladophialophora bantiana causes a rare phaeohyphomycosis, usually manifested by brain abscesses but rarely by skin or pulmonary lesions. It has not been reported as a common colonizer or as a cause of pulmonary symptoms in patients with AIDS. We present a case in which C. bantiana was repeatedly isolated from the sputum of a patient with AIDS having pulmonary infiltrates.
