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).
