Abstract

Meningitis caused by Pseudallescheria boydii is an uncommon infection of the CNS that usually has a poor prognosis and a difficult treatment. We describe a case of chronic meningitis caused by P. boydii in an immunocompetent host that was successfully treated with voriconazole, a new antifungal agent.
