RESUMEN
Resumen La aspergilosis cerebral es una patología infrecuente, pero de elevada mortalidad en pacientes con SIDA. Es importante considerarla entre los diagnósticos diferenciales ante una lesión expansiva cerebral. Se requiere un alto grado de sospecha para poder realizar un diagnóstico precoz. Se presenta el caso de un paciente con infección por VIH con un cuadro neurológico rápidamente progresivo por Aspergillus sección flavi. Se realiza una revisión de 40 casos publicados de aspergilosis cerebral en pacientes con SIDA.
ABSTRACT
Cerebral aspergillosis is a rare disease with high mortality rates in AIDS patients. It is important to take this into account in the differential diagnosis of a brain expansive lesion. A high level of suspicion is required to make an early diagnosis. We present a case of an HIV-infected patient with progresive neurological disease caused by Aspergillus flavi. We review 40 previously published cases of central nervous system aspergillosis in patients with AIDS.
