摘要：
We report the first case of Acrophialophora levis causing cerebral phaeohyphomycosis in a solid organ transplantation recipient. A. levis is a rare cause of invasive dematiaceous fungal infection among immunocompromised persons. We describe the clinical course of a kidney transplant patient who presented with acute hemiplegia due to a brain abscess from which A. levis was isolated. We review published clinical cases attributed to Acrophialophora species infection and discuss current limitations in its identification, diagnosis and management.
