is a dematiaceous fungi and the most common cause of cerebral phaeohyphomycosis. Here, we report a rare case of cerebral ventriculitis with development of a cerebral abscess due to diagnosed by cell-free DNA next-generation sequencing. Noninvasive diagnostics led to earlier disease identification and initiation of antifungal therapy, which has the potential to reduce mortality in this highly fatal disease.
是一种暗色真菌,也是脑暗色丝孢霉病最常见的病因。在此,我们报告一例罕见的脑室炎病例,该病例因通过游离DNA下一代测序诊断出 而并发脑脓肿。非侵入性诊断导致更早地识别疾病并启动抗真菌治疗,这有可能降低这种高致死性疾病的死亡率。
