Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis by Cladophialophora bantiana associated with Fingolimod
Abstract Background Cladophialophora species are fungi, which almost exclusively cause infections of the central nervous system. Mortality from Cladophialophora exceeds 65% despite treatment. Although it is a rare infection in the United States, the use of multiple and concurrent immunosuppressants has led to surges in invasive fungal infections.
