 AB    We present the cytologic and histologic features of two cases of
       Penicillium marneffei (PM) infection occurring in human immunodeficiency
       virus-positive patients following a journey to endemic areas. PM closely
       resembles Histoplasma capsulatum, in both its morphology and tissue
       reactions. Distinctive histologic features and culture provide the
       definitive diagnosis. The presence of a PM infection in a human
       immunodeficiency virus-positive patient returning from an endemic area
       should be considered an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-defined
       illness.
