Cunninghamella bertholletiaeis an opportunistic fungal organism found in soil and is a rare cause of human disease. The few reported cases ofC. bertholletiaehave involved immune compromised hosts. We report a case ofC. bertholletiaein an otherwise healthy patient presenting with persistent high-grade fever and pulmonary infiltration resistant to antibiotics. The organism is isolated through bronchoscopy and responded to broad spectrum antifungal. This is the first case ofC. bertholletiaereported in the literature in an immune competent individual.
