Diagnosis proved difficult in 2 cases of [human] Aspergillus infection complicating 90Y ablation of the pituitary. This serious complication occurs rarely. Whatever the initial organism obtained from cases with meningitis of late onset, Aspergillus infection should be considered and CSF should be cultured for fungi.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
