Descriptor feohifomicosis cerebral
Scope note: Infecciones del SNC causada por hongos dematiáceos neurotrópicos que contienen melanina en sus paredes celulares. Las infecciones a menudo resultan en ABSCESO ENCEFÁLICO, ENCEFALITIS y MENINGITIS en pacientes que a menudo son inmunocompetentes. Los hongos causantes comunes incluyen los miembros Cladophialophora bantiana, Exophiala dermatitidis, Rhinocladiella mackenziei y Ochroconis gallopavum. La infección por R mackenziei se ve casi exclusivamente en pacientes procedentes del MEDIO ORIENTE.

Scope note: CNS infections caused by neurotropic dematiaceous fungi that contain melanin in their cell walls. The infections often result in BRAIN ABSCESS; ENCEPHALITIS; and MENINGITIS in patients who are often immunocompetent. The common causative fungi include members Cladophialophora bantiana, Exophiala dermatitidis, Rhinocladiella mackenziei, and Ochroconis gallopavum. R. mackenziei infection is seen almost exclusively in patients from the MIDDLE EAST.
