Histopathological staining and mNGS results in P1 and P5. Lymph node enlargement of the right axilla was seen in P1 (A). Confirmation of T. marneffei-specific amplification from lymph node tissue by mNGS showed 108,380 unique sequence reads of T. marneffei, accounting for 18.93% of the genome coverage (B). Granulomatous inflammation observed during histopathological examination of the cervical lymph node (C). PAS staining of the cervical lymph node revealed fungal spores (arrows) (magnification × 400) (D). A large number of neutrophil infiltrates were observed in the histopathological examination of abdominal lymph nodes of P5, and a patchy distribution of tissue cells was observed. Fungal spore-like substances were scattered or clustered in some tissue cells (magnification × 400) (E). PAS staining of the abdominal lymph node tissues revealed fungal spores (arrows) (magnification × 400) (F).
