Abstract：Talaromyces marneffei is an endemic opportunistic pathogenic fungus that is mainly prevalent in Guangdong and Guangxi regions in China.Different from Talaromyces mameffei infection in adults that are more common in patients with HIV infection,in children it is more common in immunocompromised patients without HIV infection.Due to the lack of specific clinical manifestations and insufficient understanding of the disease,it is easy to make misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis,leading to incre-ased mortality.In this article the related etiology,epidemiology,pathogenic mechanism,clinical manifestations,auxiliary exami-nation,diagnosis and treatment are described,in order to improve the doctors'level in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
