Résumé
Fungal infections of the central nervous system usually affect immunocompromised patients. Primary A 45-year-old immunocompetent male with subacute paraplegia was treated for inflammatory myelitis before clinical deterioration requiring mechanical ventilation. Purulent meningitis preceded the formation of a paraspinal nodule biopsied by neurosurgery. Histopathological analysis revealed the presence of fungal hyphae, and polymerase chain reaction was positive for Primary
