Central nervous system histoplasmosis with obstructive hydrocephalus
1978
Abstract A case of central nervous system histoplasmosis complicated by obstruction of the fourth ventricle is described. The patient rarely exhibited systemic symptoms of infection despite positive cultures for Histoplasma capsulatum from bone marrow, blood and urine. Infection recurred despite the administration of a total of 5 g of systemic amphotericin B. An additional course combined with Intrathecal amphotericin B was terminated because of transverse myelitis.
