Introduction Talaromycosis is a common invasive fungal disease in patients with HIV.
However, its association with bone destruction is unusual in AIDS patients with talaromycosis.
Case Presentation This report covers the case of a 38-year-old male AIDS patient coinfected with Talaromyces marneffei and Salmonella .
The case, which involved bone destruction, was identified via metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS).
Following treatment with a combination of amphotericin B and piperacillin-tazobactam, the patient’s elbow motion noticeably improved.
Imaging findings revealed that the progression of bony destruction had halted.
Conclusion Bone damage due to Talaromyces marneffei infection is infrequent in HIV-positive patients.
Therefore, healthcare professionals must be vigilant for potential bone lesions associated with this type of infection.
Prompt diagnosis and antimicrobial treatment are crucial.
