Promising effects of corticosteroid treatment in combination with antifungal agents in a patient with Aspergillus meningitis

Abstract

Abstract Although Aspergillus meningitis is poorly responsive to current guidelines for treatment, we describe a dramatic response of Aspergillus meningitis in a patient to treatment using a combination of corticosteroids with guideline’s suggested antifungal agents. Administration of corticosteroids in patients with Aspergillus meningitis is rarely reported in previous studies.
