Cladosporium Trichoides causing multiple cerebral abscess: A case report
Brain abscesses caused by cladosporium trichoides is extremely rare and have a high mortality, even after aggressive treatment. To date only 21 cases have been reported in literature. We report a case of 40 year old male with multiple brain abscesses caused by this fungus. The diagnosis was made by culture studies after the surgical excision. Earlier, the patient had undergone incomplete excision which resulted in recurrence of the condition. Subsequently complete excision was done and antifungal therapy was given for 3 months. Presently the patient is doing well and is on regular follow up.
