description A 68-year-old female, with a known case of mantle cell lymphoma, came with complaints of persistent cough with expectoration for three months, not responding to multiple courses of antibiotics. Bronchoscopy was done and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) culture revealed Penicillium species. She was started on IV liposomal amphotericin B for 14 days and then switched to oral itraconazole which showed a response to treatment. Early diagnosis of penicilliosis and prompt treatment are important as it is rare and associated with a high mortality rate.
