species are saprophytic fungi that are rarely pathogenic in humans. According to several reports, species can cause various diseases, ranging from superficial infections after traumatic inoculation in immunocompetent individuals to invasive infections in the immunocompromised. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of brain abscess in an 18-year-old male caused by species in Pakistan. A combination of intravenous amphotericin B and oral voriconazole was administered to the patient, which resulted in marked clinical improvement. However, the recurrence of fungiwas observed after three months of completion of the antifungal course. The purpose of this report is to alert clinicians regarding this pathogen and its ability to cause systemic disease.
该物种是腐生真菌，在人类中很少致病。根据几份报告，该物种可引起各种疾病，从免疫功能正常个体创伤接种后的浅表感染到免疫功能低下个体的侵袭性感染。据我们所知，这是巴基斯坦首例由该物种引起的18岁男性脑脓肿病例报告。对该患者使用了静脉注射两性霉素B和口服伏立康唑的联合治疗，临床症状明显改善。然而，在抗真菌疗程结束三个月后观察到真菌复发。本报告的目的是提醒临床医生注意这种病原体及其引起全身性疾病的能力。
