We present a 7-year-old boy with chronic meningitis caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis. A review of the literature revealed 32 cases of central nervous system blastomycosis in children between 1983 and 2016, of which 18 represented parenchymal disease of the brain or spinal cord. Blastomycosis affecting the central nervous system is rare but should be considered in children with chronic meningitis.
我们报告了一名7岁患有由皮炎芽生菌引起的慢性脑膜炎的男孩。文献回顾显示，1983年至2016年间有32例儿童中枢神经系统芽生菌病病例，其中18例为脑实质或脊髓疾病。影响中枢神经系统的芽生菌病很少见，但对于患有慢性脑膜炎的儿童应予以考虑。
