Histologic evaluation of brain tissue identified : A) abundant necrotic
debris and a chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate admixed with fungal
forms (thin arrow) and filamentous bacteria (thick arrows) within the
parenchyma (Gomori’s methenamine silver (GMS) stain; 400 x
magnification); B) On higher magnification, hyphal forms with globose
yeast cells (Periodic acid-Schiff stain; 1,000 x oil magnification) and
C) beaded, branching filamentous bacteria were seen (GMS; 1,000 x oil
magnification).
