We report a case of invasive fungal pulmonary disease by <em>Pithomyces chartarum</em> in a healthy, nonimmunocompromised patient. We aim to demonstrate our diagnostic and therapeutic approach and focus on the major challenges arising from the lack of scientific evidence regarding infection by this fungus in humans. ER -
