Abstract
We present a case of brain abscess caused by Cladosporium trichoides w hich reappeared fifteen months later, in spite of a surgical procedure and antifungal chemotherapy. The importance of a complete neurosurgic al resection of the lesion wich determines the prognosis is emphasized . Based on amphotericine B, flucytosine, and itraconazole, the antifun gal treatment is not fully standardized. Regular clinical and CT scan controls are necessary because of frequent recurrence.
