We report a case of cerebral phaeohyphomycosis caused by Scytalidium dimidiatum (synanamorph Nattrassia mangiferae) in a young, apparently immunocompetent Indian male. Etiological diagnosis was made by recovery of the fungus in culture and histopathological examination. The infection proved fatal despite aggressive antifungal therapy.
我们报告了一例由半知帚霉(同形产孢阶段为芒果内座壳)引起的脑暗色丝孢霉病,患者为一名年轻的、表面免疫功能正常的印度男性。通过培养真菌及组织病理学检查做出病因诊断。尽管进行了积极的抗真菌治疗,感染仍被证明是致命的。
