We describe a 36-year-old post-renal transplant patient diagnosed with a rare dual infection by Cryptococcus neoformans and Lichtheimia ramosa. The case highlights the significance of invasive samples and accurate interpretation of fungal biomarkers in the diagnosis of fungal infections in immunosuppressed patients.
