Özet

Lumbar puncture in a premature newborn undergoing therapy for sepsis revealed meningitis. Contrast-enhanced cranial tomography revealed multiple, homogeneously or ring-like enhanced lesions with peripheral edema. Cerebrospinal fluid culture showed growth of candida. Significant clinical recovery after Amphotericine-B treatment was noted. Follow-up CT examination showed regression of the lesions. Five months later no pathology was reported except small calcified granulomas and an area of encephalomalacia.
