BACKGROUND: @entity867 are serious neurological problems with high mortality and disabling morbidity. The frequency is rising as a result of @entity791 and the increasing number of immunocompromised @entity1 . CASE STUDY: A 59-year-old @entity1 developed signs and symptoms of diffuse @entity75 including fever and neck stiffness. A brain CT scan demonstrated nine contrast-enhancing ring-shaped lesions. Analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid using PCR-technique revealed DNA of @entity8209 . Conservative treatment with antibiotics was successful. The @entity1 recovered with only mild @entity73 . RESULTS: The experience of our @entity1 and the review of the literature indicate that @entity867 due to @entity8209 are rare. The most probable source is @entity281 . CONCLUSION: @entity867 may be caused by @entity8209 . Cerebrospinal fluid analysis using PCR technique is helpful with diagnosis. Conservative management can be successful.

XXXX caused by @entity8209 treated conservatively.
