A rare case of encephalomyelitis caused by Candida parapsilosis.

Moreover, the results of serum BDG and the CSF routine test results gradually improved. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and CSF serum (1,3)- -D-glucan (BDG) were used to aid in the diagnosis, and serum BDG was used to track the efficacy of antifungal therapy. This implied that serum BDG levels were useful in therapeutically monitoring CNS I Candida i infections, which is consistent with the results of Salvatore et al.[10] In conclusion, we report the first case of encephalomyelitis caused by I Candida parapsilosis i . Pathogens that cause fungal infections in the central nervous system (CNS) include the I Cryptococcus i , I Aspergillus i , I Histoplasma capsulatum i , and I Candida i species, among which the I Candida i species are uncommon.
