Diagnosis of Penicillium marneffei infection is often made late. We evaluated an indirect immunofluorescent antibody test for P marneffei in serum from 103 patients with persistent fever and from 78 normal subjects. Germinating conidia (initial tissue-invasion phase) and yeast-hyphae (tissue multiplication phase) forms were used as antigen. All 8 documented P marneffei cases (8%) had an IgG titre of 160 or more; the other 95 patients and all the healthy controls had an IgG titre of 40 or below. Blood culture was positive in only 1 case with HIV infection. Biopsy and culture of tissues were necessary for confirmation in the other 7 cases. The test could provide rapid presumptive diagnosis and supplement conventional culture.
