Abstract

Invasive aspergillosis of the central nervous system commonly occurs in immunocompromised patients. In recent years with increased awareness and improved imaging techniques, central nervous system infections have also been described in immunocompetent patients. We present a case of brain abscess caused by Aspergillus nidulans in a 14-month-old male baby without any underlying defects. To our knowledge, the present case represents the third known case of A. nidulans causing brain abscess in a child without any known immuno-suppression.
