Core Tip
Core Tip: The genus Cladosporium and Corynespora cassiicola (C. cassiicola) rarely cause human infections. Patient with caspase recruitment domain protein 9 (CARD9) mutation is reported to be more susceptible to fungal infections. Our case study is the first to report the coexistence of pulmonary Cladosporium infection and subcutaneous C. cassiicola infection in a patient with CARD9 mutation. Multiple fungal infections in patients with CARD9 mutation are worth clinicians’ attention.
