[Mycotic lesions in the brain in chronic opium-ephedrone addiction].
Histological examination of the brain of a opium-ephedrone addict has detected large spherical cells resembling Coccidioides or Paracoccidioides spherules. Roundish and oval structures were found in subependymal space of the fourth ventricle. These structures may be spores of many fungi. Areas of normal structure and these with productive inflammation were observed in the surrounding nervous tissue.
