A chest radiograph and CT scan showed new multifocal lung parenchymal opacities compatible with septic pulmonary emboli (Fig. 1A). The gram stain of the blood culture revealed oval yeast (Fig. 1C) not identified with the bioMerieux  Vitek YST card (Marcy-l'Etoile, France). Fig. 1B shows near total resolution of pulmonary infiltrates in April 2016, about 1 month after treatment was ended.
