Abstract
A patient with a past history of sporadic parenteral drug abuse had communicating hydrocephalus associated with arachnoiditis over the lumbar spinal cord. The diagnosis of aspergillosis was made by a newly described immunofluorescent staining procedure and was later confirmed by culture. The spectrum of CNS aspergillosis associated with drug abuse is reviewed.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
