Descriptor English: Central Nervous System Fungal Infections
Descriptor Spanish: Infecciones Fúngicas del Sistema Nervioso Central
Descriptor infecciones fúngicas del sistema nervioso central
Entry term(s) infecciones fúngicas del SNC
micosis del sistema nervioso central
Scope note: MICOSIS del cerebro, la médula espinal y las meninges que puden producir ENCEFALITIS, MENINGITIS FÚNGICA, MIELITIS, ABSCESO CEREBRAL y ABSCESO EPIDURAL. Ciertos tipos de hongos pueden producir enfermedades en huéspedes inmunológicamente normales, mientras que otros se clasifican como microorganismos patógenos oportunistas y causan enfermedades fundamentalmente en pacientes inmunodeprimidos (por ejemplo, en pacientes con SÍNDROME DE INMUNODEFICIENCIA ADQUIRIDA).

Scope note: MYCOSES of the brain, spinal cord, and meninges which may result in ENCEPHALITIS; MENINGITIS, FUNGAL; MYELITIS; BRAIN ABSCESS; and EPIDURAL ABSCESS. Certain types of fungi may produce disease in immunologically normal hosts, while others are classified as opportunistic pathogens, causing illness primarily in immunocompromised individuals (e.g., ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME).
