Descriptor neuroaspergilosis
Scope note: Infecciones del sistema nervioso producidas por hongos del género ASPERGILLUS, sobre todo ASPERGILLUS FUMIGATUS. Pueden afectar a huéspedes inmunocompetentes, pero prevalecen más en pacientes con SÍNDROMES DE INMUNODEFICIENCIA. El microorganismo puede diseminarse hacia el sistema nervioso desde focos en los pulmones, la región mastoidea, senos, oído interno, huesos, ojos, tubo digestivo y corazón. Las infecciones de los senos pueden ser localmente invasivas y entrar en el compartimiento intracraneal,produciendo MENINGITIS FÚNGICA, neuropatías craneales y abcesos en los lóbulos frontales del cerebro.

Scope note: Infections of the nervous system caused by fungi of the genus ASPERGILLUS, most commonly ASPERGILLUS FUMIGATUS. Aspergillus infections may occur in immunocompetent hosts, but are more prevalent in individuals with IMMUNOLOGIC DEFICIENCY SYNDROMES. The organism may spread to the nervous system from focal infections in the lung, mastoid region, sinuses, inner ear, bones, eyes, gastrointestinal tract, and heart. Sinus infections may be locally invasive and enter the intracranial compartment, producing MENINGITIS, FUNGAL; cranial neuropathies; and abscesses in the frontal lobes of the brain.
