A recent female immigrant from Vietnam presents to the emergency room with fever and numerous lesion

A recent female immigrant from Vietnam presents to the emergency room with fever and numerous lesions on her skin. Her history is significant because she is HIV positive. The physician draws blood cultures and takes a bone marrow sample for routine and fungal culture. At 48 hours, the routine cultures demonstrate no growth. At three days, the room temperature fungal agar shows a velvety, red-white colony that exhibits a maroon pigment in the agar around the colony. The 35°C fungal agar shows small white moist colonies. The microscopic morphology of the 25°C colony is provided.
