 AB    We report the first proven case of Sporothrix meningoencephalitis in an
       AIDS patient. The patient had dramatic, wide-spread ulcerative and
       infiltrative disease with progressive meningoencephalitis in spite of
       amphotericin and itraconazole therapy. Sporothrix was cultured from
       premortem cerebrospinal fluid and seen in the meninges and in brain
       vessels at autopsy.
