[Cladosporiosis in chronic herpetic encephalomyelitis].

One case of chronic herpetic meningoencepalitis complicated by a rare my costs of the central nervous system (CNS) and generalised viral infection is described. Cladosporiosis is considered as a lesion resulting from a immunosuppression due to chronic herpetic involvement of CNS. Morphologically this mycosis is manifested by the presence of spors and septic micelium among cells of productive inflammation an inside of giant multinuclear cells in affected areas. Viral nature of the encephalomyelitis is documented by presence of typical intranuclear inclusions and detection of herpetic antigen by means of fluorescent antibodies.
