Five consecutive cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)\u2013negative patients with systemic Talaromyces marneffei infections due to STAT3-HIES were identified.

The main symptoms of 10 patients were similar: fever (75%), cough (75%) and dyspnea (33%), but two patients mainly had gastrointestinal symptoms. Most patients had a history of infections since infancy. T marneffei was cultured from the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (50%) and 25% of patients were next-generation sequencing positive. Eight patients had significantly elevated serum immunoglobulin E, increased B cells and decreased natural killer cells. There were ten different STAT3 mutations, three of which were reported for the first time in this study. Chest computed tomography examinations showed multiple exudations with cavities in the lungs. Voriconazole combined with thymosin was effective.
