A Rare Case of Brain Abscesses Caused by Acremonium Species.

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.
