CNS disease may occur in both normal and immune compromised hosts. This organism is being increasingly
referred to as Scedos poriumapiospermum , the sexual form of P.boydii. The organism may enter the CNS by direct trauma,
by hematogenous dissemination from primary site of infection, via an intravenous catheter, or direct extension from infected sinuses .
Many etiologic agents of fungal meningitis may also cause brain abscess, e.g. Cryptococcus
neoformans, Coccidioidesspp, Histoplasmacapsulatum , and Blastmycesdermatiditis
