Abstract

Invasive Aspergillus infections involving the central nervous system (CNS) are unusual among children. Mortality and morbidity are very high and aspergillosis of CNS rarely presents as purulent meningitis. A 28 day- old neonate was admitted to our clinic with sepsis findings and diagnosed as purulent meningitis caused by Aspergillus niger. At the end of the six weeks of therapy with liposomal amphotericin B, clinical and mic-robiological cure were achieved,"

Özet

Merkezi sinir sistemi (MSS)'ni tutan invaziv Aspergillus infeksiyonları çocukluk çağında oldukça nadir gö-rülmektedir. Mortalité ve morbiditesi oldukça yüksek olup, pürülan menenjit formuna çok seyrek rastlanır. Yirmi sekiz günlük iken sepsis ön tanısı ile kliniğimize yatırılan ve Aspergillus niger'e bağlı pürülan menenjit saptanan bir yenidoğan olgusu sunulmuştur. Altı hafta süre ile lipozomal amfoterisin B tedavisi uygulanan ol-gunun bu süre sonunda klinik ve mikrobiyolojik bulguları düzelmiştir.
