Aspergillus terreus was identified in an intradural spinal biopsy specimen from an African female with recurrent headache and hydrocephalus. Prior laboratory testing of cerebrospinal fluid was nondiagnostic, despite extensive central nervous system (CNS) involvement. CNS Aspergillus infection presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge and is reviewed in the context of this particularly instructive and difficult case.
从一名患有复发性头痛和脑积水的非洲女性的硬脑膜脊髓活检标本中鉴定出土曲霉。尽管中枢神经系统(CNS)广泛受累,但先前对脑脊液的实验室检测没有明确诊断。中枢神经系统曲霉病提出了诊断和治疗方面的挑战,本病例特别具有启发性和难度,因此对此进行了回顾。
