Magnusiomyces capitatus may cause uncommon yet severe infections, especially in patients with haematologic disorders. Diagnosis may be difficult and time-consuming and newer approaches are required including the MALDI-

TOF
, positivity for galactomannan antigen in the
BAL
fluid, and successfully treated with oral posaconazole in single therapy.
