OBJECTIVES: To describe the neurological manifestations of invasive aspergillosis presenting with a focal neurological deficit compatible with an acute stroke.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of a clinical series of patients between 2011 and 2017 with invasive aspergillosis and neurological symptoms compatible with an acute brain stroke. Clinical and epidemiological data, microbiological results, radiological findings, treatment, and course were recorded.
RESULTS: Five patients were selected with a mean age of 55.4years. All patients were immunosuppressed. In 4, systemic infection was unknown. In every case, neurology on call was alerted because of acute focal neurological symptoms. None of the patients received revascularization procedures. Galactomannan antigen was positive in all of the patients and culture was positive in 3. Mortality was 100% despite specific antifungal treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Acute stroke can be the first manifestation of disseminated aspergillosis. This form of presentation was frequent in our series and should be suspected in immunocompromised patients with acute neurological deficits.
