(G02.1*) Meningitis in mycoses

Meningitis in mycoses is a rare form of fungal meningitis caused by a fungus that invades the layers of tissue that cover the brain and spinal cord. it is usually caused by a weakened immune system, allowing the fungus to spread and cause inflammation of the meninges, which can lead to severe neurological symptoms.

Meningitis in mycoses is caused by an infection of the meninges, the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, by fungi. these fungi may enter the body through the nose or mouth, and can then travel to the meninges and cause inflammation and swelling. in some cases, the fungi can also travel through the bloodstream and cause a more widespread infection. symptoms of meningitis in mycoses can include fever, headache, stiff neck, and confusion. treatment typically involves antifungal medications, and in severe cases, surgery may be necessary.
