Abstract

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is caused by a dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides Brasiliensis and is endemic to subtropical areas of Central and South America. CNS involvement of PCM is extremely variable. NeuroPCM is found in 9.65% to 27.18% of PCM cases .Most neuro PCM patients presents with simultaneous involvement of other organ but isolated or initial CNS involvement may be a feature in 21%. Here we report a case of CNS PCM and this appears to be first reported case of PCM and CNS PCM in India.
