  • Title: Recurrent central nervous system blastomycosis in an immunocompetent child treated successfully with sequential liposomal amphotericin B and voriconazole.
    Author: Panicker J, Walsh T, Kamani N.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2006 Apr; 25(4):377-9. PubMed ID: 16567998.
    Abstract:
    Central nervous system involvement in infection with Blastomyces dermatitidis is uncommon, except in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of central nervous system blastomycosis occurring 18 months after treatment of pulmonary blastomycosis in an immunocompetent child. Our patient was successfully treated sequentially with liposomal amphotericin B followed by oral voriconazole without need for surgical resection.
