Remarkable recovery from a <i>Cladophialophora bantiana</i> fungal brain abscess in an immunocompromised patient: a case report

This is a rare case of a <i>C. bantiana</i> fungal brain abscess in an immunocompromised patient. Complete surgical resection was not possible; however, this case provides additional data to show the benefits of a dual antifungal treatment approach without additional surgical intervention, and the dosages used to achieve stability at 18 months post-presentation. This case highlights the importance of prompt efforts in determining causative organisms in unexpected fungal brain abscesses, which allows for targeted and improved success in the treatment of this highly fatal disease.
