Magnusiomyces species have emerged as a cause of pulmonary and disseminated infections in immunocompromised patients, particularly those with hematologic malignancies and/or hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. These organisms are associated with a high mortality rate, particularly when dissemination occurs. We report a case of Magnusiomyces clavatus fungemia with silent dissemination following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, involving the lungs and spleen. This highlights the importance of early recognition, microbiological identification and consideration of CT imaging to detect occult dissemination, which critical for guiding appropriate management.
