Overview

Fungal meningitis rarely occurs in otherwise healthy individuals. Co-existing medical conditions, immunosuppression and travel history to areas where specific fungi are endemic are risk factors for fungal meningitis. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Risk Factors

Risk factors in the development of fungal meningitis include:[9][10][1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][11]


Risk factors by the causative organism


Risk factors in children

Children with the following conditions have higher incidence of fungal meningitis:

  • CNS drains and catheters represent disease[25]
