Chronic granulomatous CNS infections may be caused by tuberculosis, fungi and rarely by free-living amoeba, especially in immunocompromised individuals. We report a rare, fatal case of granulomatous amoebic encephalitis in an immunocompetent patient mimicking CNS tuberculosis, and review the imageological features and diagnostic tests.
慢性肉芽肿性中枢神经系统感染可能由结核分枝杆菌、真菌引起，在免疫功能低下的个体中也可能由自由生活的阿米巴引起，较为罕见。我们报告了一例免疫功能正常的患者罕见且致命的肉芽肿性阿米巴性脑炎，该患者模仿中枢神经系统结核，我们回顾了影像学特征和诊断检测。
