Recurrent hemoptysis with Penicillium marneffei and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in Job's syndrome
BH Ma, CS Ng, RK Lam, S Wan, IY Wan, TW Lee, AP Yim

Pulmonary infection caused by the opportunistic organisms Penicillium marneffei and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in patients with Job's syndrome is rare and not well documented. The case of a 30-year-old man with Job's syndrome who developed recurrent pneumonia and lung abscesses caused by P marneffei and S maltophilia, complicated by massive hemoptysis, is described. Bronchial artery embolization was successful in controlling the hemoptysis; however, the infection proved fatal despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy. A brief review of the literature on Job's syndrome and its associated infective pulmonary manifestations is also presented.
