title: Neuroimaging of AIDS. I. Fungal infections of the central nervous system.
abstract: Fungal infections of the central nervous system are quite uncommon and most frequently occur in immunocompromised patients, such as those with AIDS. This article outlines the most common fungal infections that occur in the central nervous system. Even though fungal infections of the central nervous system, other than cryptococcosis, are rare in the AIDS population, one should recognize the findings and consider the diagnosis.
