Human protothecosis is mainly a cutaneous infection caused by the Prototheca species. Prototheca wickerhamii is an established pathogen of eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in dogs, but no eosinophilic pleocytosis of the cerebrospinal fluid has been reported in human cases of meningitis. Herein, we report a case of chronic protothecosis manifesting eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in an immunocompetent boy.
人类原藻病主要是由原藻属物种引起的皮肤感染。威克海姆原藻是犬嗜酸性脑膜脑炎的一种既定病原体，但在人类脑膜炎病例中尚未有脑脊液嗜酸性粒细胞增多的报道。在此，我们报告一例免疫功能正常男孩发生的表现为嗜酸性脑膜脑炎的慢性原藻病病例。
