- Abstract
- "Candida species is an uncommon pathogen and usually causes meningitis as a nosocomial infection. We report a case
where a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was placed in a 72-year-old woman with hydrocephalus. Three months later, the
patient was referred to the department of neurology due to fever and drowsiness. Candida parapsilosis was cultured in
the cerebrospinal fluid as the causative agent of meningitis. Candida species should be considered as a pathogen when
meningitis is present in severely ill patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts.Key Words: Meningitis, Candida parapsilosis, Ventriculoperitoneal shunt"
