Around pachymeningitis curiosity and interest have long circled: the pages of the “Journal of Mental Science” bear witness. Men felt that the current explanation of its development was inadequate, and, if they did not deny its truth, they received it with suspended contradiction rather than acquiescence.
Abstract
Chronic meningitis caused by Sporothrix sp. is occasionally described in immunosuppressed patients. We report the challenges in diagnosing and managing 2 nonimmunocompromised patients with hydrocephalus and chronic meningitis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis. This more virulent species appears to contribute more atypical and severe cases than other related species.
