He denied fever or taking any medicine lately. His family and travel history were normal, but he used to swim in the wild pond with ambiguous trauma on the nose. Dermatologic examination revealed a well-circumscribed red plaque with a slightly raised border and mild infiltration with a few scales on the surface (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>A), involving about two-thirds of his nasal dorsum. No enlarged cervical lymph node was detected.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The biopsy was taken from the red plaque, and the histopathology showed mixed inflammatory cells infiltration with the predominance of lymphocytes, histocytes, eosinophils, and multinuclear giant cells, with numerous granulomas observed (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>B). However, both Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) and acid-fast staining were negative, as well as fungal culture and atypical mycobacteriosis detection. Even so, oral Itraconazole was prescribed, 200 mg/day. A month later, he had a “cold” with a slight cough and an enlarged lesion involving almost the whole nasal dorsum (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Fig. 2</a>A). Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the lungs was negative, and a second biopsy showed a similar histological profile (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Fig. 2</a>B). As the investigation of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Mycobacterium tuberculosis</span> on lesion sample by PCR-reversed dot hybridization had been negative, the treatment was switched to oral clarithromycin 500 mg/day and doxycycline 200 mg/day, combined with Itraconazole 400 mg/day. Another month later, high-grade fever and repeated nosebleeds occurred. He got into a coma and was hospitalized in another hospital five days later. A cranial CT scan showed multiple abnormal low-density foci in bilateral frontal, parietal lobes, and right occipital lobes. His cerebrospinal fluid sample was sent to Guangzhou Vision medicals Inc. for pathogen detection via Next-Generation Sequence (NGS), which confirmed the presence of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">B. mandrillaris</span> genomic sequences expressed as 88.17% of the whole parasites, which suggests that <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">B. mandrillaris</span> was the main pathogen. Though Itraconazole and Linezolid intravenously were given, he died about 2-weeks later, unfortunately. The authors confirmed that <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">B. mandrillaris</span> infection already existed in the embedding skin biopsy tissue from initial red plaques by NGS.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0010"></elsevierMultimedia></span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0025">Discussion</span><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Only about 7 cases of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">B. mandrillaris</span> infection were reported per year worldwide.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> The patients can be divided into two types by different clinical manifestations.
