| It is usually not significant in immunocompetent individuals, but can be of serious consequence, and sometimes fatal, in neonates, infants, and immunosuppressed patients. |
| In the present case, delayed diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient caused Kaposi sarcoma. |
| The fungus is capable of causing disseminated infection in immunocompetent hosts and is endemic to distinct geographic regions. |
| Passive transfer of antibodies protects immunocompetent and immunodeficient mice against lethal Ebola virus infection without complete inhibition of viral replication. |
| In the immunocompetent patient the presence of extrapulmonary symptoms, such as diarrhoea, headache and myalgia, suggests infection with the so-called atypical pathogens. |
| The noninvasive subtypes typically occur in immunocompetent individuals and include mycetoma and allergic fungal sinusitis. |
