After admission, the patient was misdiagnosed as viral infection and Mycobacterium tuberculosis  in central nervous system. After detection of Angiostrongylus cantonensis  in blood and cerebrospinal fluid by metagenomics next generation sequencing, albendazole was administered with ceftriaxone and methylprednisolone treatment simultaneously. With effective antiparasitic treatment, the patient weaned from mechanical ventilation successfully and transferred out of intensive care unit for hyperbaric oxygen and rehabilitation treatment.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>CONCLUSION<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of Angiostrongylus cantonensis  infection and the importance of advanced sequencing techniques in identifying rare pathogens.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4329\/wjr.v17.i2.105059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,26]],"date-time":"2025-02-26T03:15:51Z","timestamp":1740539751000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Treatment of a rare and severe infection of central nervous system by <i>Angiostrongylus cantonensis<\/i>: A case report"],"prefix":"10.4329","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Jian-Hui","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen-Ju","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Jiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming-Xing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xi-Mu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian-Yuan","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen-Zhi","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qing","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2060","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/1519-6984.262109"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3969\/j.issn.1671-4695.2006.10.001"},{"key":"B3","unstructured":"Sohal RJ, Gilotra TS, Nguyen AD, Lui F.
