Abstract

A 50-year-old immunocompromised female presented with a 10-day history of fever and dyspnoea. She had recent VFR travel to Vietnam and had lived in Calgary, Alberta, for 20 years. Investigations revealed bicytopenia, elevated cholestatic enzymes and a miliary nodular pattern on chest imaging. She was diagnosed with a disseminated fungal infection.
