ABSTRACT
Aspergillus is a fungus found in the environment. In an immunocompetent person, inhalation of spores may cause localized infection. In immune compromised patients, these fungi can cause life-threatening invasive infections which has high morbidity and mortality. Invasive aspergillosis has a poor prognosis. Intracranial aspergillosis is an extremely rare manifestation of invasive aspergillosis in immunocompetent individuals. A case of 60-year-old immunocompetent male is reported who had multiple Aspergillus brain abscess.
