MeSH Heading: Central Nervous System Fungal Infections
Tree Number(s): C01.150.703.181; C01.207.198; C10.228.228.198
Unique ID: D020314
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020314
Annotation: coord IM with precoord fungal infection (IM) and specific site/dis term (IM) if pertinent
Scope Note: MYCOSES of the brain, spinal cord, and meninges which may result in ENCEPHALITIS; MENINGITIS, FUNGAL; MYELITIS; BRAIN ABSCESS; and EPIDURAL ABSCESS. Certain types of fungi may produce disease in immunologically normal hosts, while others are classified as opportunistic pathogens, causing illness primarily in immunocompromised individuals (e.g., ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME).
