Abstract
We present a case of cerebral phaeohyphomycosis caused by Cladophialophora bantiana in an apparently immunocompetent patient with a history of intravenous drug use. The diagnosis was achieved in specimens obtained at necropsy by histological and mycological examination, with subsequent identification of the isolate in culture.
