Abstract
We present a case of cerebral phaeohyphomycosis caused by Cladophialop hora bantiana in an apparently immunocompetent patient with a history of intravenous drug use. The diagnosis was achieved in specimens obtai ned at necropsy by histological and mycological examination, with subs equent identification of the isolate in culture.
