A case of multiple cerebral abscesses due to infection with Cladophialophora bantiana
2005
Abstract Cladophialophora bantiana is a highly neurotropic fungus which has been reported to cause a variety of infections in the immunocompromised and transplant populations. We describe a case of multiple cerebral abscesses caused by this dematiaceous fungus in a patient with probable Duncan's syndrome. The patient also had extensive extra-cerebral disease, which is unusual for infection with this organism. We discuss previously described cases of infection with Cladophialophora bantiana , and review the current and evolving treatment options.
