title: CNS Mold Infections.
abstract: Mold infections of the central nervous system (CNS) present as abscesses, infarcts, hemorrhages, and, less commonly, meningitis. These invasive infections are difficult both to identify and to eradicate given low-sensitivity diagnostics and high-toxicity, low-efficacy antifungal therapies, hence resulting in high rates of morbidity and mortality. Herein, the recent literature on CNS mold infections is reviewed, and updates in diagnosis and management are discussed.
