Abstract
- Cerebral aspergillosis is a rare condition, and like other opportunistic fungal infections, it most commonly occurs in immunocompromised patients. Because of the increasing use of chemotherapy in organ transplanta-tion, cases involving neoplasms, corticosteroid therapy, and cases of lymphoma and leukemia, the incidence of fungal infections in the brain has recently increased. Cerebral aspergillosis in an infant with normal immunity is a very rare condition, and has not been reported in Korea. We report the MR findings of this condition in an infant with normal immunity.
