Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 38-year-old male farmer with brain abscess caused by Cladophialophora bantiana is described. He had a 2-year history of non-insulin dependent diabetes and myelodysplastic syndrome. Cranial CT scan demonstrated a hypodense ring lesion with peripheral edema and midline shift in the left frontal lobe. A darkly pigmented mold was isolated from the brain abscess. The isolate was identified as C. bantiana based on its morphological features and DNA sequence analysis. The patient was unresponsive to the bur hole aspiration and irrigation as well as liposomal amphotericin B infusion and died after the discharge of hospital. This is the first case of cerebral abscess due to C. bantiana in China. |
