ABSTRACT

Aspergillus is an uncommon pathogen for brain abscess, usually misdiagnosed, difficult to treat and with high fatality rates.  One of the risk factors for this opportunistic infection is high-dose steroid therapy.  Here, we report a case of Aspergillusbrain abscess in a patient previously diagnosed with meningioma in which a high dose steroid may have contributed to the development of the Aspergillusbrain abscess.
