Fungal central nervous system infections: prevalence and diagnosis
Expert Review of Anti-Infective Therapy, 2014Fungal infections of the central nervous system (CNS) are rare but they pose a significant challenge. Their prevalence spans a wide array of hosts including immunosuppressed and immunocompetent individuals, patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures and those carrying implantable CNS devices. Cryptococcus neoformans and Aspergillus spp.

Fungal infections of the central nervous system
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2014The epidemiology of invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised patients is rapidly changing. Several of the fungi have worldwide distribution. However, some have specific geographical distribution. Sinocranial aspergillosis, mostly described from countries with temperate climates, occurs mostly in otherwise immunocompetent individuals Most of the ...

Epidemiology of Central Nervous System Fungal Infections
2019Invasive fungal infection (IFI) of the central nervous system (CNS) leads to significant morbidity and mortality. The clinical presentation of CNS IFI is highly variable, leading to a delay in diagnosis. The burden of IFI has been increasing with the increasing numbers of at-risk population, opportunistic fungi in the immunocompromised patients with ...

Fungal Infections of the Central Nervous System
Seminars in Neurology, 2019Fungal central nervous system infections present in a myriad of clinical manifestation and remain a significant diagnostic challenge. Presenting symptoms, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, conventional fungal serum markers and imaging correlates of disease are seldom sensitive or specific; fungal culture growth or histopathologic analysis are often ...

Fungal Infections of the Central Nervous System
Continuum, 2015This article summarizes current knowledge on the epidemiology, clinical presentations, diagnosis, and management of selected fungal infections of the central nervous system (CNS). Key syndromes, differential diagnoses, and therapeutic interventions according to host immune status and exposure are reviewed.Advancements in imaging of the brain and spinal

FUNGAL INFECTIONS OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2000The diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system fungal infections typically pose problems for the clinician. With an increased incidence of fungal infections in immunocompromised patients, neuroradiologic imaging has become essential in determining complications and outcomes.

FUNGAL INFECTIONS OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Neurologic Clinics, 1999This review discusses a practical approach to the patient with possible fungal infection of the central nervous system (CNS). Difficulties in establishing the diagnosis come from the nonspecific clinical syndromes (subacute meningitis, meningoencephalitis, and brain abscess) and the low isolation rate of fungi from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Treatment of fungal infections of the central nervous system
Annals of Neurology, 1981AbstractThe recent development of new antifungal antimicrobials that can be administered in combination with amphotericin B or as alternatives to it has expanded the dimensions of treatment for fungal infections of the central nervous system. These disorders have acquired increasing importance as patients with malignant and other illnesses associated ...

Fungal Infections of the Central Nervous System
2017Although the most common origin of central nervous system (CNS) infections is bacteria, the role of fungi should not be overlooked; these infections have received much interest in recent years. Fungal diseases have a significant morbidity and mortality. Clinical presentations may be acute and fulminant or chronic and gradually progressive.

Innovative and potential treatments for fungal central nervous system infections
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2023Fungal infections of the central nervous system (FI-CNS) are a problematic and important medical challenge considering that those most affected are immunocompromised. Individuals with systemic cryptococcosis (67-84%), candidiasis (3-64%), blastomycosis (40%), coccidioidomycosis (25%), histoplasmosis (5-20%), mucormycosis (12%), and aspergillosis (4-6%)
