[Unusual course of candidiasis of the central nervous system].
Six months after an attack of pyelonephritis, adnexitis and candida colpitis an 18-year-old girl developed some clouding of consciousness. On neurological examination she showed organic behavioural changes, discrete anisocoria and possible meningism. Computed tomography revealed hydrocephalus and signs of increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure. CSF contained 2336/3 cells, while total protein was raised to 7.0 g/l and lactate concentration to 6.85 mmol/l. Glucose concentration in CSF was 51 mg/dl and 75 mg/dl in serum. As tuberculous meningitis was suspected, treatment was started with four tuberculostatic drugs, but there was no improvement. Five weeks later microscopic CSF examination showed fungal spores and nonbranching hyphae. The maximal candida haemagglutination titre in CSF was 1:2048. CSF culture grew Candida albicans. The further course was complicated by side effects to the antimycotic drugs (amphotericin B between 4.5 and 45 mg daily; flucytosine 1.7 g four times daily) and recurrent obstruction in the ventricular system requiring repeated neurosurgical interventions. However, full cure was achieved after seven months' hospital treatment.

Pelvic coccidioidomycosis.
Pelvic inflammatory disease due to Coccidioides immitis is rare. However, female patients with disseminated coccidioidomycosis may have unrecognized pelvic involvement as pelvic examinations are frequently not performed. Inappropriate and inadequate therapy of pelvic coccidioidomycosis may very well contribute to the demise of such patients. The diagnosis must also be suspected in patients with pelvic abscesses which do not respond to antibiotic therapy and conventional surgery. Extirpative surgery, in addition to amphotericin B, is frequently necessary to eradicate the disease. A patient is reported whose course illustrates these conclusions.
