Abstract

A 39-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus suffered a prolonged neurological illness associated with very low levels of glucose in her cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Six months later, and after numerous CSF investigations, Histoplasma capsulatum was cultured. To our knowledge, this is the first report of cerebral histoplasmosis in Australia in a patient who is not HIV positive.
