Deskripsi

Key Clinical Message Rhodotorula is a rare pathogen seen in the immunocompromised host; while cases of Rhodotorula meningitis have been reported, there are no published cases of Rhodotorula brain abscess. We describe the diagnosis and management of a woman with common variable immune deficiency presenting with concomitant Rhodotorula and Nocardia brain abscesses.
