title: [Mycoses of the central nervous system].
abstract: The incidence of mycotic infections in the CNS has increased even outside those groups of patients with increased risk (AIDS, drug-addicts, etc.). These cases are secondary complications of other basic diseases favored by the influence of modern drug treatment and misinterpretation of modern diagnostic findings (radiology). A more frequent control of mycotic infections even in routine controls of chronic inflammations and a cautious individual handling of drugs (immunosuppressives, antibiotics, irradiation) should help to avoid these mainly lethal diseases.
