title: A case of solitary Blastomyces dermatitidis meningitis.
abstract: We present a case of a 35 year-old male with Blastomyces dermatitidis meningitis as the primary presentation of blastomycosis infection, without evidence of involvement outside the CNS at time of discharge. We focus on the magnetic resonance imaging findings, with histopathologic correlation.
