[Vasculitis secondary to fungal infections].

Valérie Zeller1, Olivier Lortholary.   

Abstract

THE FUNGI INCRIMINATED: Cerebral vascular lesions are frequently observed in the rhino-cerebral localisations of aspergillosis and mucormycosis, and during cerebral coccidioidomycosis, but far more rarely in neuro-meningeal cryptococcosis and histoplasmosis. Other fungi are occasionally at the origin of vasculitis. THE CONTEXT: Diagnosis is difficult to establish. It should be evoked in immunodepressed patients presenting with clinical and radiological manifestations of cerebral vasculitis. AS FAR AS TREATMENT IS CONCERNED: Treatment relies on antifungal therapy. Steroids and/or anticoagulants can be envisaged in some patients.
