A new treatment for large cerebral paracoccidioidomycosis.
A patient with a large paracoccidioidal granuloma in the right fronto-parietal region was treated with sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim alone, without the use of amphotericin B or any surgical measures. The authors stress the excellent therapeutic results through a twenty-six month follow-up, documented by repeated CT scans.
