We report a case of cerebral phaeohyphomycosis due to Wangiella dermaitidis in an immunocompetent adult man. His cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showed pleocytosis with a high eosinophil count but without peripheral blood eosinophilia. The present case suggested that this black yeast-like fungus should be included when the causes of CSF eosinophilia are considered, even though it is an extremely rare pathogen.
我们报告一例免疫功能正常的成年男性因皮炎万吉拉霉引起的脑暗色丝孢霉病。他的脑脊液(CSF)显示细胞增多,嗜酸性粒细胞计数高,但外周血无嗜酸性粒细胞增多。本病例表明,即使这种黑色酵母样真菌是一种极其罕见的病原体,但在考虑脑脊液嗜酸性粒细胞增多的原因时也应将其纳入。
