A rare brainstem abscess caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis infection was successfully treated. This case highlights the efficacy of fluconazole-flucytosine combination therapy for blastomycosis.

Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Blastomycosis is a fungal infection typically affecting the lungs, but can disseminate to other organs.
  • Brainstem involvement in blastomycosis is exceptionally rare, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 33-year-old Tunisian male presented with an unexplained brainstem abscess.
  • Mycological investigations confirmed the causative agent as Blastomyces dermatitidis.

Findings:

  • This case represents the first documented instance of a brainstem abscess due to Blastomyces dermatitidis.
  • The patient received a combination therapy of fluconazole and flucytosine.

Implications:

  • The successful treatment of this rare brainstem blastomycosis with fluconazole-flucytosine offers a promising therapeutic option.
