    Central nervous system blastomycosis is rare and challenging to diagnose. This case highlights diagnostic complexities and proposes a management framework for chronic meningitis.

    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Neurology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Blastomycosis is a fungal infection typically affecting the lungs.
    • Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is uncommon but severe.
    • Diagnosing CNS blastomycosis presents significant challenges.

    Observation:

    • A complex case of CNS blastomycosis is presented.
    • Diagnosis was complicated by concurrent tuberculosis and complex masses.
    • The patient presented with chronic basilar meningitis and cervical myelopathy.

    Findings:

    • Blastomyces dermatitidis was identified as the causative agent.
    • The case underscores the need for refined diagnostic criteria for CNS fungal infections.
    • A diagnostic and therapeutic scheme for chronic meningitis is proposed.
