We describe a case of chronic meningoencephalitis with hydrocephalus caused by (VGIII) in an immunocompetent patient from Santa Cruz, Bolivia. This first report of a member of the species complex from Bolivia suggests that (VGIII) is present in this tropical region of the country and complements our epidemiological and clinical knowledge of this group of emerging fungal pathogens in South America.
我们描述了一例来自玻利维亚圣克鲁斯的免疫功能正常患者,由(VGIII)引起的伴有脑积水的慢性脑膜脑炎病例。这是来自玻利维亚的该物种复合体成员的首例报告,表明(VGIII)存在于该国的这一热带地区,并补充了我们对南美洲这组新兴真菌病原体的流行病学和临床认识。
