Clinical disease in humans is rare, particularly in children, for which only five cases have been reported. We report a 7-months-old female patient with a diagnosis of visceral heterotaxy syndrome who was admitted to a private center in Mexico. After two episodes of focal myoclonic seizure, a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a right porencephalic cyst and a right frontal abscess with ventriculitis. Seventy-two hours after temporal abscesses drainage procedure, the culture showed a rapidly growing pale white fungal colony. Sequencing of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and D1\/D2 led to the identification of <jats:italic>Chaetomium strumarium<\/jats:italic>. Although <jats:italic>Chaetomium<\/jats:italic> sp. is a rare fungal infection in humans, clinicians should consider it as a plausible etiologic agent that can form brain abscess.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.21-0277","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,22]],"date-time":"2021-11-22T23:11:44Z","timestamp":1637622704000},"page":"574-577","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case Report: Cerebral Phaeohyphomycosis Due to Chaetomium strumarium in a Child with Visceral Heterotaxy Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"106","author":[{"given":"B\u00e1rbara","family":"C\u00e1rdenas Del Castillo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Pediatrics\/Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Hospital Universitario \u201cDr. Jos\u00e9 Eleuterio Gonz\u00e1lez, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Leon, Monterrey, Mexico;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jose Iv\u00e1n Castillo","family":"Bejarano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Department of Pediatrics\/Infectious Diseases Service, Hospital Universitario \u201cDr. Jos\u00e9 Eleuterio Gonz\u00e1lez,\u201d Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Leon, Monterrey, Mexico;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oscar","family":"DeLaGarza-Pineda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3Department of Neurology, Hospital Universitario \u201cDr. Jos\u00e9 Eleuterio Gonz\u00e1lez,\u201d Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Leon, Monterrey, Mexico;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Ascenci\u00f3n Arenas","family":"Ruiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"4Department of Neurosurgery, Hospital Universitario \u201cDr. Jos\u00e9 Eleuterio Gonz\u00e1lez,\u201d Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Leon, Monterrey, Mexico;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiram","family":"Villanueva Lozano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"5Department of Microbiology, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Leon, Monterrey, Mexico;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rogelio de J.","family":"Trevi\u00f1o-Rangel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"6Department of Microbiology; Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Leon, Monterrey, Mexico;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gloria","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez M.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"7Department of Microbiology; Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Leon, Monterrey, Mexico;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joyce Marie","family":"Garc\u00eda Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"8Hospital Epidemiology Surveillance Unit, Christus Muguerza Hospital Alta Especialidad, Obispado, Universidad de Monterrey, Monterrey, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2795","container-title":["The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/106\/2\/article-p574.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/tpmd\/106\/2\/article-p574.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,2]],"date-time":"2022-02-02T14:58:45Z","timestamp":1643813925000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/106\/2\/article-p574.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,2]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4269\/ajtmh.21-0277","relation":{},"ISSN":["0002-9637","1476-1645"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0002-9637","type":"print"},{"value":"1476-1645","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,2]]}}}
