| Abstract | Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis due to Rhinocladiella mackenziei is a severe infection in the middle east, resulting in nearly 100% mortality despite the application of combined surgical and antifungal therapy and occurring occasionally in otherwise healthy patients. We report the first case of brain infection in a middle-aged male in India, where R. mackenziei is not endemic. |
