Tzanck cytology smear in diagnosis of cutaneous talaromycosis (penicilliosis)

Shau-Kong Lai et al.

Summary: Talaromyces marneffei infection is a defining illness of AIDS in South and Southeast Asia. There is an increasing recognition of travel-related talaromycosis even in non-endemic areas. This potentially fatal infection can rapidly deteriorate if left untreated. The usage of Tzanck cytology smear for rapid diagnosis of T. marneffei is seldom described. In this case study, we report a man presenting with altered behavior, headache, fever, and cutaneous lesions. Tzanck smear test, skin biopsy, and blood culture confirmed the presence of T. marneffei. The cytomorphology findings of T. marneffei in Tzanck cytology smear were described. In conclusion, Tzanck smear is a simple and inexpensive test for establishing a rapid clinical diagnosis of talaromycosis before culture results are available.
