摘要：
Fungal infections of the central nervous system have manifold presentations and courses that depend largely on both host and organism characteristics. Although subjects with impaired immunity are generally at higher risk for severe disease, several fungal organisms are considered primary pathogens and can also cause disease in otherwise immunocompetent individuals. Herein, we describe the epidemiology, presentation, diagnosis, and management of central nervous system complications of several fungal pathogens.
