Purpureocillium lilacinum, a common environmental mold and bionematicide, can cause human infections. At a major US commercial laboratory during March 2019–February 2025, P. lilacinum culture rates increased; rates were highest in the South Atlantic and Pacific states. Nonculture-based diagnostic tools such as microscopy may help identify and confirm clinical infection earlier.
