Résumé

Coccidioidal meningitis remains difficult to treat. The newer triazole, isavuconazole, has demonstrated efficacy in invasive fungal disease with less side effects than other azoles. We describe a case of refractory pediatric coccidioidal meningitis with disease stabilization and improvement on isavuconazole after failing treatment with other antifungal agents.
