Item Central nervous system fungal infection--a report of three cases.(2004-11-05) Das, Shyamal Kumar; Bhattacharya, Sushanta; Mitra, Kingshuk; Roy, Trishit; Bhattacharya, Manoj; Ghorai, Shyama Prasad; Das, Anindita; Chakraborty, ArunalokFungal infections of the central nervous system in three apparently immunocompetent patients are being reported. Two cases of cerebral aspergillosis presenting as intracranial granulomas such as rhinocerebral and intracranial forms, and one of cryptococcal meningitis could be successfully diagnosed by newer diagnostic modality such as antigen detection techniques. The case with cryptococcal infection had typical neuroimaging feature which helped to suspect the underlying diagnosis. Aspergillus galactomannan detection in the cerebrospinal fluid helped in the early diagnosis and appropriate therapy of one patient.
